My clinical training and experiences thus far provide me with the unique capability to support a variety of people and populations; these include behavioral and emotional issues in children/preteens, parents, adults struggling with anxiety, unhealthy thinking patterns, relationship stressors, and communication barriers within relationships.
The world we live in is overwhelmingly unpredictable, which can lead us to not only numb our own emotions, but also hinders our capacity to communicate in healthier ways, build meaningful relationships, connect, be intentionally productive, or engage in much needed acts of self-care. Feeling the weight of one or more past traumatic or stressful experiences can easily cripple our ability to shift away from destructive behavior patterns. You may be feeling stuck– uncertain of who you are, what you want, and what you deserve, or maybe you’re caught in the spiral of believing that you don’t deserve more than what you have now.

I offer comprehensive psychoeducational testing and do not have a wait list! Children and adolescents often face difficulties in school, which can look like failing grades, behavior referrals, or peer conflict, for example. If a child is facing difficulty due to differences in development or functioning, a licensed school psychologist can help! Students with self-regulation issues, learning problems, difficulties with focusing, social skill deficits, and other concerns can be evaluated. Together, we can create an evaluation plan, which can lead to diagnosis and treatment options. I also work with adults. Contact LEAPS with Lawson!

Mallory is married to his wife, Amy, and they have two teenage children.
Mallory believes that at any stage or age, all people have this in common: we have stories and are created for connection. While life can be amazing and beautiful, there is a deep awareness and experience of brokenness and pain — in ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us. Mallory believes counseling is an opportunity to enter into your brokenness and to find meaning, redemption, and ultimately healing and wholeness. This therapeutic process requires courage, authenticity, and a willingness to be vulnerable.

Life is full of transitions, and it can be difficult to navigate life changes. Do you feel frustrated, alone, misunderstood, or sad due to family conflict, an unfulfilling romantic relationship, low self esteem, stress, or parenting your children? Relationships can be complicated, and it is disheartening to feel stuck in situations that cause anxiety, sadness, or stress. Tension can build even more if you have a child or teen who is struggling with their behavior or emotions. This can negatively affect school, work, or home life. It takes courage to reach out for professional help.
