Allie has been in recovery since January 6th, 2015 and has been working in the substance use and mental health field for over nine years. Her degree in social sciences, as well as personal and professional experience in the field, have helped her become a wealth of knowledge, especially in recognizing differing therapeutic modalities that can benefit individuals struggling with addiction and co-occurring disorders.

Allie is open about her story of addiction and recovery as she believes it is important for others to challenge the stigma surrounding addiction and to understand that there is help out there for those willing to accept it. She has been invited to speak on major news stations and has spoken to many parent/family support groups, business panels, and students in hopes of educating the community. Allie has also traveled around the country learning about treatment and sober living resources, and to educate herself on the multitude of clinical practices that are used in helping individuals battling addiction and co-occurring disorders, in order to help integrate some of these practices into her local community. She has worked for a dual-diagnosis treatment facility for over nine years that provides Detox, Residential, Partial Hospitalization, & Intensive Outpatient levels of care.
