About Dr. Allie

I’m Dr. Allie, a therapist, consultant, and speaker dedicated to helping people understand their emotions, navigate life’s challenges, and create meaningful, lasting change. I believe healing happens when you feel safe enough to tell the truth about your story, and supported enough to imagine a new way forward.​

Helping you rebuild connection with yourself and realign with the life you want to live.

My approach is warm, honest, and collaborative. I sit with you, not above you. I help you understand the patterns that slow your progress, the emotions you’ve been carrying alone, and the places where you’re ready to grow. Together, we work to strengthen emotional awareness, rebuild trust in yourself, and create tools that move you closer to who you want to be.

 

Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, or relationship challenges, you deserve a space that honors your story and helps you walk through it with clarity and confidence.

 

I offer in-person sessions in Memphis and virtual therapy across Tennessee and Mississippi for individuals and couples seeking grounded, compassionate support.

My Philosophy

Everyone has the capacity to heal and realign; sometimes we just need the right support, the right tools, and the right space to do it.

You won’t find judgment here. You won’t be rushed. And you won’t be treated as a diagnosis or a set of symptoms. You are a whole person with a story, a history, strengths, and resilience, even if you don’t feel connected to that resilience right now.

Why "Realign"?

If you’re searching for clarity, connection, or a renewed sense of direction, you’re in the right place.

Many people come to me feeling lost, disconnected, overwhelmed, or worn down by years of trying to manage everything alone. Realignment is the process of learning to listen inward again, understand your emotional landscape, and take steps that feel true to your values. It’s not quick. It’s not linear. But it is possible and you don’t have to do it alone.
