About Allie

Allie received her Bachelor of Science in Youth Advocacy from Texas Christian University and graduated with her Masters in Counseling from Dallas Theological Seminary. At Bayou City Counseling, she works with teens and adults struggling with anxiety, grief, OCD, and those facing relationship issues. Allie is trained in EMDR and is passionate about working with clients who have experienced trauma, abuse, and PTSD. Allie has a special place in her heart for postpartum moms, those dealing with church hurt, or who have a toxic inner critic. Allie is a certified Prepare/Enrich facilitator and enjoys working with dating, engaged and married couples. Allie is also trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and has clinical experience in non-profit and private practice settings. She believes that change and freedom can come from a safe, therapeutic relationship. Allie has seen that by sharing practical coping skills, processing one’s past, and understanding their present, clients can have hope for the future! Outside of the office, Allie enjoys reading, walking in Buffalo Bayou Park with her husband, Chase, and golden-doodle, Cooper.

For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?

I wish I could tell people that is it all about good fit! If you have had a bad or unhelpful experience with therapy I would love to see if I am a good match for you. I am genuine, non judgmental, and eager to help you grow. If I am not the therapist for you, I am committed to helping you find someone you connect with!

How do you work with clients with grief?

I don't believe that we can talk about grief with predictable phases (thought there is some truth to the phases a person with go through!). We will process the loss that has occurred. We will explore help ways and coping skills to help you grieve. You will have a safe place to become stable and hopeful again.

What does therapy with you look like?

In your first session we will discuss what brings you to therapy and make a plan for the future sessions together. The hope is that we begin a relationship that feels safe and encouraging.

How does trauma focused therapy work and how can it help?

Trauma focused therapy goes at whatever pace you feel comfortable going. It helps by identifying what your brain has been unable to process on your own, then "reprocessing" through EMDR therapy. You will learn how to cope with you triggers and the hope is to decrease triggers all together.
