Therapy Techniques:

Ally truly believes that having a good relationship and feeling comfortable with your therapist is an essential part of therapy.  She provides a relaxed casual environment where you'll feel you can express yourself openly without judgment knowing that she will warmly but honestly guide you through your journey of change, adjustment, and growth.  Her approach is to help guide and teach individuals to overcome struggles and eventually not need the help of a therapist anymore.
