Hi, I’m Allie! 

I was born and raised in West Michigan and despite moving to Florida swearing I’d never return, I couldn’t resist the persuasive power of “The Mitten.” Though I thoroughly miss my winters spent poolside, I have come to embrace the beauty of the four seasons and the many opportunities each bring. I have proudly made West Michigan my home where I reside with my husband, identical twin daughters, and our Boston Terrier.

​

As a teen, I met a social worker who forever changed my life as I was captivated listening to her stories of the hundreds of lives she’d impacted. The passion with which she spoke was nothing short of inspiring. I knew in that moment social work was meant for me, but had no idea of the amazing journey on which it would take me.

 

I received my Bachelor of Social Work from Southeastern University and Master of Social Work from Grand Valley State University, and am a clinical licensed master social worker (LMSW) with the State of Michigan. Over the past 13 years, it's been my privilege to work alongside hundreds of children and families throughout my professional career. 

​

There are no words to adequately describe the privilege of witnessing the transformation children and families experience as they overcome some of life's most difficult obstacles.

​

I look forward to helping your child/teen begin their transformation!
