Definitely take Aly up on her offer. She would be able to steer you in the right direction. When I was looking for a behaviorist - I got recommendations from my vet, my trainer, and the shelter where I got my dogs.

I also looked her up on Association of Professional Dog Trainers Website and it listed her as a certified behaviorist (one of only two in my area). I can tell you that it was the best money I ever spent. It really helped me understand my two dogs and I learned how to read their body posture and facial expressions.

Good Luck to you and please pm Aly for some help.
