----- Not accepting NEw patients -----

Hello! I was born and raised in Baton Rouge and enjoy providing counseling for members of my community.  In 7th grade my Godfather's family had a loss in the family which "lit my fire"  to help people struggling with their own mental health, trauma, and grief.  In my spare time I love to photograph nature, enjoy indoor rock climbing, trivia and playing Dungeon's and Dragons with my friends as often as I can.  

My approach to therapy is to begin with forming a trusting therapeutic relationship with my clients while working towards the client’s goals for him/her/their self.  Imagine you are driving your car of "life" and you need a little help getting to where you want to be. You see me, a friendly helpful looking therapist on the side of the road. I get in the passenger seat and help you navigate to your goals. I never grab the wheel but rather gently remind you how to get to where you want to go. Once you feel you have met the goals you want to meet, you let me out and continue down the road. You are welcome to return to session anytime you need. No matter what you bring to my (in person or virtual) office, you can expect to be met with non-judgement, compassion, and authenticity.   

I work  with young adults (ages 14 and older), adults, and older adult clients.  I also offer relationship counseling. I began working with clients in  the Fall of 2019 and have worked in multiple settings. I am passionate  about continuing to expand my knowledge and skills to better support my  clients. I work with a variety of issues and have additional training,  experience, and knowledge in the following areas:

• Couples
• Issues with work & school
• Grief
• Anxiety and Depression
• LGBTQ+ clients

I  am committed to providing a supportive and inclusive environment for  all my clients. I will be focusing on accepting clients dealing with  anxiety, LGBTQ+ concerns, and couples work

I enjoy working with clients in group settings.  Listed below are my current groups.

• Allie's Unite Group.  This is a group for parents and loved ones of LBGTQIA+ adolescents and young adults. 

I earned a Master of Science degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Southeastern Louisiana University in May of 2020. I hold the following licenses and certifications:

• Licensed Professional Counselor LPC-A # 8223
• Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC) # 1405375 
•  Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) from Evergreen certifications (certification #324197).     

I have presented at the Terrel Conference 2020, Holy Cross Ethic’s Conference 2020 & 2021, and LCA 2020 & 2022 .   I am available for speaking and presentation events.
