Something has to change, you just don’t know where to start. Hi, I’m Allison!
I work with people who are overwhelmed, anxious, overstimulated, and done with pretending they’re fine. You don’t want a therapist who just listens and nods.
You want someone who: actually gets it, doesn’t judge you for being human, helps you understand what’s happening in your brain and body, and gives you tools you can use that same week, not “someday."
In our sessions, we’re real!
We talk about the messy middle, the part where you're juggling the kids, the job, the expectations, the mental load, and wondering when you get to breathe.

You might feel like you’ve been running on empty—emotionally, spiritually, or relationally. Maybe you’re navigating a season of change, carrying the weight of unprocessed trauma, or feeling the pressure of being strong for others while quietly unraveling inside. Perhaps your cross-cultural background or ministry work has left you feeling misunderstood or out of place. You long for clarity, peace, and a sense of purpose again—to feel whole, connected, and free.

We all have work we can do to improve our lives. An outside perspective can help show us areas that can be developed and grow. The ideal client is willing to work on hard things and need space to process. Whether it’s caregiving stress, lost dreams, toxic parent/child relationships, or even tension within a marriage, let’s work on these stressors together.

Hello, I am Gretchen Kafer, a Licensed Clinical Psychologist. Most of my clients state they start therapy because they are feeling inadequate, having relationship problems, and/or feeling exhausted from hiding how much they’re struggling inside with the complexities of anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, multiple stressors, or feeling dissatisfied with themselves or life circumstances. My job as a therapist is to help you identify and access your internal strength and power to accomplish your goals. I provide a supportive, non-judgmental, and encouraging space to work through emotions, overcome challenges, and move forward.

If you feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure on how to move forward, you are not alone. Many people I work with struggle with worry, grief, stress, depression, past trauma and life transition issues. I will work with you with warmth, steadiness, and compassion. I create space for our work together where you can relax and explore your issues in a safe environment. Clients tell me they often feel relief after one session and our work together offers them strength and understanding in a life that's been wearing them down.

As you move through life, you take on new responsibilities, build relationships, care for others, and continue to grow—personally and professionally. From the outside, it may look like you’re doing everything right, yet internally something feels off or incomplete. I help you identify what may be missing and guide you toward a deeper understanding of yourself—so you not only clarify where you want to go, but also how to get there.
