Hi, my name is Allison and I am a mental health therapist. I am licensed in Texas, Illinois, South Dakota, and Georgia. I received my Masters from Capella University and have been practicing for 6 years. I help adults with emotion dysregulation learn skills to gain more control over their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors so they can build successful lives.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, I'll ask several questions to get a snapshot of where you are in life and what your needs are. Then we will start brainstorming therapy goals so we can create a plan tailored to you.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I follow an evidence-based treatment that focuses on both acceptance AND change. When we are stuck in life, we need both to move forward.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I most enjoy working with people who experience high emotion dysregulation. These might include people with personality disorders, self-harm, ADHD, PTSD, anger issues, anxiety, and/or depression. People who struggle with their emotions and behaviors tend to experience a high degree of hopelessness and shame. Sometimes, the biggest problem is that we are never taught the skills we need to thrive. I don't believe in lost causes; I believe everyone has the capacity for growth. My goal is to help people create lives with peace, purpose, and fulfillment.
