Hi there, I'm Alison!

I understand that life's challenges can sometimes feel overwhelming, but you don't have to face them alone. I specialize in helping individuals experiencing significant anxiety, depression, unresolved trauma, or relationship challenges. I utilize a variety of treatment approaches to fit your specific needs.

My focus

I work with adults, especially those in young adulthood facing academic and career stress, identity, and relationship concerns. I treat anxiety, depression, narcissistic injury from partner or family abuse, and life transitions like divorce, job loss, or grief. I also support those recovering from substance use disorder.

My approach

My passion is helping clients learn effective coping skills to reduce symptoms and feel better quickly. I utilize Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, combining traditional CBT with mindfulness practices. You'll identify and challenge negative thought patterns while becoming more aware of present-moment experiences without judgment.
