Hello! My name is Allie, and I am a professional counselor. I decided to become a counselor because I enjoy being a support system. I have worked in partial care transitional housing facilities and have an extensive background in providing outpatient counseling services. I use a trauma-informed, holistic, and strengths-based approach with all my clients. I also commonly use CBT, MI, expressive therapy, and solution-focused strategies in sessions. Most recently, I was trained in TF-CBT by the CARES institute for adolescent survivors of abuse.

Footprints was started by a therapist who realized that often times the services provided to low socio-economic communities is lacking quality care. We noticed these communities were confronted with long wait times, disrespectful admins, and subpar treatment. The one and only purpose was to exploit the community for profit without providing the level of care deserved. Footprints began from the inspiration to provide quality mental health care to the poorest of communities and treating the clients of this community the same way a rich patient would be treated in a clinic treating affluent clients.

I work with individuals of all ages to achieve a greater sense of wellbeing. I believe that by learning behavioral skills clients can enhance their capabilities to live the life that they want to live. Our feelings are closely connected to how we perceive situations and if those perceptions are distorted or inaccurate it can lead to feelings of distress including anxiety and depression. By using evidenced based treatments such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy the connection between our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors can be explored to achieve more adaptive and accurate perspectives.
