Through Allyson's personal life experiences, she has had the opportunity to gain insight, compassion and understanding that has guided her toward a career as a counselor. While working in both the hospital and research setting, Allyson has had the privilege of working with a variety of populations, including first responders. These experiences have provided her with opportunity to help others through life transitions, caregiver trauma, PTSD, grief, relationship challenges and substance use. Allyson approaches counseling from an eclectic perspective. Pulling various aspects from a range of modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment therapy (ACT), Brief-Solution Focused Therapy, Family Systems, and Trauma-Informed approaches. Allyson believes in tailoring the counseling experience to each client’s needs. She feels passionate about creating a safe space for clients to express emotion and process life’s challenges.

Allyson believes your story matters and she seeks to get to know her clients as a whole person, not just a sum of their circumstances.  She believes we all have value and a purpose, with all of our experiences being a part of that purpose. It can be difficult to seek counseling, showing up and being vulnerable. It is Allyson's goal to provide her clients a safe and secure environment where they feel understood and respected. Strength is not your ability to power through your situation alone, rather it is in the willingness to pursue help with healing.

Allyson attended the University of Georgia for her undergraduate degree in Psychology before returning home to attend the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, earning a Master of Science in Clinical Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling.
