Hi, I’m Ally (she/her)
Supporting your
journey is my passion.
Like many of my clients, I had a difficult childhood that impacted me in ways I didn’t fully comprehend. My unprocessed trauma kept me stuck in unfulfilling relationships and harmful patterns for many years. Thankfully, I had the courage to reach out for help and the the willingness to create change. With the support of a wonderful therapist, a new chapter of my life began to unfold.
My own journey of healing has given me deep insight into the power we all have to transform ourselves and our relationships. Becoming a therapist has been a lifelong dream and a labor of love. I am honored to walk alongside you on your unique path of self discovery.
I live in Portland, Oregon and am married to my wonderful partner. We have one teenager, one toddler, two cats, and a little old dog. I am most at peace when I am outdoors or doing hot yoga. I love to travel, cook, eat, listen to music and podcasts, watch movies and bad tv, spend time with friends, and read.
