Hi, I’m Allyson! I’m a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who believes healing involves both the mind and the body. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you, or your child, can feel understood, build on existing strengths, and develop the tools needed to move toward meaningful change.
I provide trauma-informed therapy for clients ages 4 and up and work with children, adolescents, and adults experiencing a wide range of emotional, behavioral, and mental health concerns. My areas of focus include trauma, anxiety and mood disorders, autism and developmental concerns, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, psychosis, addictions, and other complex challenges.
I have specialized training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and am a Certified Polyvagal Somatic Therapy Practitioner. These approaches allow us to look beyond simply talking about what happened and explore how difficult experiences may continue to affect your emotions, thoughts, body, relationships, and nervous system. Together, we can work toward feeling safer, more regulated, and less controlled by past experiences.
Therapy with me is personalized to you. I use an eclectic approach, drawing from different evidence-based techniques based on your individual needs, experiences, and goals rather than expecting one approach to work for everyone.
For clients who would like their faith to be part of the therapeutic process, I also offer Christian counseling upon request, incorporating your beliefs and values in a way that feels comfortable and meaningful to you.
Whether you’re seeking support for yourself or your child, you don’t have to navigate difficult experiences alone. We’ll start where you are, identify what matters most to you, and work together toward greater balance, healing, and hope.
