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 relationship issues. Allie is trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Reprocessing and Desensitization) 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, and those with 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 the present, clients can have hope for the future!
Outside of the office, Allie enjoys reading, watching college football, and walking in Buffalo Bayou Park with her husband, Chase, and golden-doodle, Cooper.

BAYOU CITY COUNSELING CLIENT
“With a recent diagnosis of depression and severe anxiety I decided to seek professional help. As a 30 year old male I was fearful, nervous and skeptical. With Allie, I have learned practical techniques to alleviate the anxiety. We uncovered sources of depression. We recalibrated how I talk to my self. She empathizes without being condescending. She challenges without being hurtful. She provides down to earth exercises and explanations. I recommend her to anyone and everyone! Help is available.”
BAYOU CITY COUNSELING CLIENT
“I previously believed that my past trauma was too big or too much, and that I was incapable of processing it. With Allie, I have learned to apply coping mechanisms to manage intense emotions that arise during triggering situations or depressive episodes. Thank you Allie for your support. I wouldn’t be this version of myself with out you!”
