Welcoming in creatives, artists, and healers! Currently accepting new clients. Has your creative drive disappeared behind a booming inner critic that’s never satisfied? Ever wondered why you’ve been in therapy for years, but the old problems persist? I specialize in helping creatives like you, with histories of relational or sexual trauma, heal from the inside out; building internal spaces of worthiness that aren’t dependent on external validation to feel whole.
I use music, somatic work, and depth psychology to partner with you, going beyond words into the layers of your emotional world. Trauma lives in the body, but so does music. Together, we’ll use the music you love to explore and gently move through the memories, beliefs, and responses keeping you stuck, so you can build a home within.
This work is often spiritual, guided by your imagination, embodied awareness, and inner wisdom. We ask: what was wrong with what happened to you? Not, what is wrong with you. My warm, compassionate approach supports reconnection with your authentic self. Please visit my website to book your first appointment or email me with any questions.
Call or Alison Dagger now for a free 15 minute consultation - (240) 685-9307

When trauma lives in our system, it manifests as emotional and physical dysregulation. This can look like difficulty feeling emotionally connected, chronic anxiety & panic, or prolonged depression. You may not consider your lived experiences to be traumatic, but that doesn't mean there isn't trauma. In our work together we'll discover where your pain points lie and help you heal at the source.
