About

Hi, I’m Ally. And I’m so glad you’ve landed here. I truly believe therapy can be transformational when you find the right provider. Please read on to see if you think we might be a good fit.

I’ve been a therapist for over ten years, working at all levels of care including residential treatment centers and intensive multidisciplinary programs. In those settings, I’ve done one-on-one therapy, group therapy, family/couples therapy, curriculum development, clinical supervision, and staff management. I received my BA in journalism from Columbia College Chicago (‘07) and worked as the research director of a local business magazine before pursuing my Master of Social Work from Loyola University Chicago (‘16). My spouse and I recently settled in the suburbs of Chicago with our two kids and my telehealth assistant/guest star (our cat, Rosie).

Most of my clients would tell you I can be direct when necessary, and that I’m also quite relaxed. I bring humor into my work when possible, and work hard to ensure my clients feel safe and validated in their conversations with me. Therapy can be uncomfortable, and it’s my job to help you work through the discomfort and move toward the life you want for yourself. No matter where you are, growth and change are possible.
