Hi, I’m Ally—a compassionate and dedicated mental health professional with over 9 years of experience in human services. My background includes work with mobile crisis teams, case management, and individual coaching. Guided by empathy and a strengths-based collaboration model, I strive to provide culturally responsive care that meets the unique needs of each client. I am supervised by Kirsten Thornante and Trish Bellante, LMFT.
I specialize in helping teenagers navigate the unique challenges of adolescence, building resilience, self-esteem, and healthy coping strategies. I also support clients of all ages through their mental health journeys. Whether you're a teen, a parent, or an adult, I’m here to help.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, but it’s also a powerful act of courage. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and goals. Together, we’ll work on practical tools and strategies to navigate life’s challenges, build confidence, and foster lasting well-being.

Under clinical supervision by an LCSW and an LMFT; I ensure the highest standards of care. Pre-licensed therapists provide up-to-date, evidence-based care. They are often more enthusiastic, dedicated, and more likely to establish longer-term therapeutic alliances with clients.
