About Ally
Welcome, my name is Ally. Something I hear often from new clients is that therapy has been unhelpful, or even harmful in the past. I want you to know, it is my promise that you will have a different experience altogether if you choose to work with me. My clients all report feeling very connected to me from our first meeting; I am not the therapist who feels detached and cold, in fact I am passionate about sharing my authentic, human self in order to inspire trust, and to create a deep bond.
I work from an anti-oppressive/anti-structural lens, and am attentive to the safety of all clients. I am trained in Mindfulness-Based Somatic Therapy, which helps facilitate a more relaxed and centred feeling in my clients bodies. This approach is particularly helpful in working with anxiety, panic, and trauma. I also work with parts therapy, to help my clients connect to their inner child, inner teenager, or any other part that may have been harmed.
I approach my work with warmth and total non-judgment. I will show up for you, in the unique way that you need, each and every session. More than anything, my hope is to build a relationship with you that is deeply rooted in trust and warmth. If you have found therapy uncomfortable in the past, your experience with me will be very different, I promise.
