Are you someone who experiences feeling "out of it", struggling to be in touch with your body? Do you feel like you're just "going through the motions"? Have you experienced fatigue, grief, loss of interest, and loss of pleasure in your life? Are you just exhausted from being in pain all the time?

Welcome, I am so glad you are here! I'm Allie, and I am a Licensed Associate Marriage Family Therapist and a Board Certified Sex Therapist serving Georgia. Let’s be honest, healing is difficult and frankly can be really messy at times. Humans are sexual beings, let us sit down and explore what your sexuality, healing and growth looks like for you. Society places so much pressure on how we are “supposed to be” and places us in these boxes. But, what if we don’t fit into these narratives or boxes? Sexuality can be difficult to navigate, know that I am here with you. How often have you experienced shame, guilt, even embarrassment for expressing yourself and your curiosities when it comes to sexuality? Sexuality is such an integral part of our existence and the society we exist in unfortunately does not promote healthy conversations around sexuality and sexual learning. Let us explore what your sexuality means for you. Let us navigate, together, what healing around traumatic experiences can feel like. There are so many reasons that can leave us with perspectives and experiences that bring about sexual shame, guilt, and sometimes even fear. Addressing sexual concerns in therapy can promote healing and empowerment by deepening the understanding of yourself and your relationships. Human sexuality is complex and integrates the mind, body, and spirit. Let’s work together to navigate what this means for you!

What does working with me look like?

As your therapist, I am passionate about creating a safe space for you and your partner(s) to navigate what growth and healing can look like for you. I defintatley do not believe it is my job to judge you, tell you that you or wrong or bad; society already does an awful job at that. During our work together, we will have gentle conversations around how I can support you and what healing means for you and your relationships. I work alongside clients as a resource for growth and relational repair. It's definitely not my jam to “rip bandages off” or make you go somewhere you aren’t ready to go. I enjoy incorporating somatic movement and nurturing that wonderful mind – body connection. So often we loose that connection, let's work together to strengthen it. I may gently challenge you and I pinky promise to approach your experiences through gentleness, curiosity and with empathy. As a therapist, I believe in meeting you where you are at and seeing what comes up along our journey. I am here to navigate with you. I view the therapeutic process as a collaborative effort. I believe for change and growth to happen it is important to cultivate a safe, nurturing relationship between therapist and client(s). Yes, I am a therapist, and I am human first.

Let’s navigate living authentically, together.

My practice is informed through a trauma and multicultural lens. I am passionate about providing care to those who have experienced trauma and the intersectionality of chronic illness with sexuality. I am trained in working with kink and BDSM communities, gender and sexually diverse individuals (LGBTQIA+), neurodivergent folks, and those who identify as non-monogamous and/or polyamorous. I enjoy working with various relationship and sexual concerns such as decreased desire, desire discrepancy, pelvic pain/painful sex, arousal and orgasm difficulties, and chronic illness that impacts sexuality and intimacy, and healing sexual trauma. My clinical focus in Sex Therapy informs providing accessible mental health services through a systemic and experiential and emotions focused lens for individuals, couples, and groups of people who are experiencing distress from psychological, physiological, emotional, medical, and/or social issues surrounding sexuality.

In my spare time you can find me getting lost in the woods or exploring some mountains, learning a new skill, nestled up with a good fantasy novella and spending time with my sweet fur child, Freddy.

I am currently under the clinic direction of Melissa Lee Dickinson, LPC005677 and I am currently under supervision with Alex Peskin, MFT001512
