Hi, I’m Alley, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Nationally Certified Counselor, and Infant Mental Health Endorsed Clinician dedicated to supporting women through the many emotional seasons of their lives. My work is rooted in the belief that women deserve spaces where their experiences are honored, their identities are supported, and their inner worlds are understood with compassion.
I began my career working alongside mothers navigating addiction—a role that deeply shaped my trauma-informed, relational approach. Over time, I expanded my training to better support women throughout the reproductive and early parenting years. I am a Circle of Security Facilitator and Infant Mental Health Endorsed, allowing me to support women and families at the intersection of emotional well-being, attachment, and early relational health.
Today, I work with women navigating major life transitions, identity shifts, reproductive and perinatal challenges, relationship stress, and the everyday weight of being needed in so many ways. Whether you're adjusting to motherhood, struggling with infertility, moving through burnout, facing a loss, exploring who you are, or longing for more stability and connection, I offer a warm, grounded space to slow down and make sense of whatever you’re facing.

My approach to therapy is compassionate, grounded, and goal-oriented — creating a space where clients can show up authentically, feel emotionally safe, and begin working through the patterns, stressors, and experiences that may be keeping them stuck.
I primarily work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, emotional burnout, life transitions, and relationship challenges. Using approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness techniques to help clients build practical coping tools, strengthen self-awareness, and move toward healthier, more balanced ways of living — one meaningful step at a time.

I have worked extensively with adolescents in a group home setting providing individual, group and family therapy to address issues including depression, anxiety and trauma. I have also worked with at-risk youth in a partial-hospitalization setting. I also have been working closely with members of the LGBTQ+ community, those struggling with Substance Abuse Disorders and those living with HIV and AIDS. To me it is very important that your identity is respected in our sessions and I strive to offer a compassionate, safe space for all. I am offering that to you as well.
On a more personal side, when I am not seeing clients, I am out roller skating, spending time with my pets or planning an adventure. I also love music so if that is something you want to bring into our sessions, I am excited to do so.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and founder of Time to Renew You, a therapy practice grounded in respect, compassion, and intentional healing. I support children, teens, young adults, and adults who may be navigating anxiety, overwhelm, emotional regulation challenges, ADHD/Autism-related needs, self-esteem concerns, school or work stress, relationship stress, and life transitions.
My approach is calm, collaborative, and individualized. I believe therapy should feel supportive, human, and practical while also creating space for deeper reflection and meaningful growth. I work best with clients who are open to building self-awareness, learning coping tools, and understanding how their thoughts, emotions, nervous system, environment, and relationships may be impacting their well-being.
My goal is to help clients feel understood, supported, and empowered to reconnect with themselves, strengthen emotional balance, and move forward in a way that feels realistic and sustainable.
How was your day? Your month? Or even your year? Are you overwhelmed by what tomorrow will bring? Are you overthinking, and need someone to talk with? Are you having a hard time getting on track and struggling to meet deadlines or expectations? Maybe something doesn’t seem right, and you find yourself restless. Maybe you lost pleasure in things you use to love. Ready for A Change? A new day begins today with no more stumbling through life. Your connections with me will allow you to overcome challenges. Many people are experiencing what you are experiencing. It takes courage to recognize that you need a helping hand and starting therapy is the first step. I provide a safe place to share your experiences and work towards growth. I actively participate in the therapy process by encouraging and empowering you to achieve your goals and live the life you are destined for.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social worker who has worked with all ages ranging from 5-95. My approach is warm, down to earth, and strengths focused. I like to help clients build insight, find healthier ways of coping, and feel more satisfaction and control in their everyday life. My passion is working with teens and adolecents, but my experience with many different populations gives me unique insight.
