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.
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.
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.
I have been practicing DBT for 4 years. I use individual DBT, behavior tracking, and additional skills training to help clients with emotion dysregulation become less reactive and more effective in their lives.
