(she/her)

Allie is a passionate mental health professional dedicated to promoting holistic healing and mental wellness through an integrative approach that honors the connection between mind, body, and spirit. She holds a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from the University of Louisville, where she developed a strong foundation in evidence-based clinical practice.

Her career began in community mental health, where she gained extensive experience working in both inpatient care and crisis management. During her time at The Center for Women and Families, she provided critical support to individuals navigating acute trauma and emotional distress, deepening her commitment to trauma-informed care.

In addition to her clinical training, Allie is certified in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), using this modality to support clients in achieving deeper emotional healing and processing complex trauma. Her integrative approach draws from traditional psychotherapy and integrative practices to create personalized, compassionate care that empowers individuals on their path to wellness.

With a deep respect for the healing process and a belief in the innate resilience of every person, Allie continues to advocate for mental health awareness and the transformative power of integrative care.

During Allie’s free time, you can find her working in her garden, enjoying trails, doing yoga, or kayaking. She also loves giving her time volunteering at the Kentucky Humane Society’s equine center. Most importantly, she enjoys spending time with her dog, Maverick, her husband, and her many nieces and nephews.
