My specialty is treating clients suffering from depression and anxiety, I am passionate about helping those who suffer from varying mental health issues.

Hi! I'm Allison and I'm passionate about helping individuals navigate the challenges in their lives, and find peace through inner work. My areas of focus include grief and loss, challenges surrounding identity development, trauma, life transitions, and anxiety. I utilize a strengths-based approach when working with clients to build trust and assist in developing a positive sense of self. My ideal client is curious and excited about making positive shifts in their life!

In life, difficult situations occur. These experiences can make us anxious, question ourselves and our self-worth, and affect our ability to connect with others and plan for the future we desire. Through EMDR, ART, and a mix of other empirically based modalities, it is possible to heal from past trauma, feel more empowered, and increase life satisfaction generally. I have been in the field for twenty years and a therapist for thirteen. I have also been an administrator, supervisor, and trainer for therapists. During that time, I have come to appreciate how change is possible in our lives and in our relationships with others.

Relationships are one of the most important things in life. Whether that be with a partner, spouse, parent, child or other family member. We understand that strengthening and maintaining those relationships is at the top or your list. It’s at the top of our list too! Change is possible if you have a desire to learn and apply the skills and knowledge you will acquire through participating in therapy.

The relationship between a therapist and client is one of the most important parts of the therapeutic process. I try to create an environment of safety and trust through a caring and supportive therapeutic relationship, giving empathetic feedback and an outside perspective. I work with people with depression, anxiety, panic attacks, OCD, PTSD, substance abuse, dysfunctional family relationships, boundary setting problems, spiritual transition, LGBTQ + or cultural trauma, career transition (and many others). Please call or email me today and we can begin the work of healing by processing through thoughts, behaviors, and feelings.

I believe the most valuable service I can provide to my clients is creating a safe space where they feel comfortable to express themselves and be acknowledged. My aim is to foster an atmosphere of trust and unconditional positive regard. My primary objective in working with clients is to support and validate their feelings, helping them feel bolstered and recognized. Many clients seek my help to improve their quality of life, and I firmly believe that therapy can facilitate this. While it may require effort, a better state of well-being is definitely attainable!

My goal as a clinician is to develop a safe, honest, trusting relationship so that my clients can explore all parts of themselves without judgement. I use evidence based practices and draw on the therapeutic relationship to help my clients feel seen, heard, and understood in ways that can offer healing. My hope is to help my clients enjoy the healthy and nurturing relationships they are seeking, and to live a more whole, purposeful, and satisfying life. I work well with individuals and couples who are looking to get to the root of their challenges, and move past managing symptoms.

I appreciate the complexity of people. I believe in trying to understand all aspects in someone's life and recognizing the impact of their experiences, relationships, and understandings into the current way of life. There are reasons for certain beliefs about ourselves and others. I utilize my training and my own self in helping a client come to witness ideas and behaviors within themselves And then, find ways to make changes, find balance, and maybe even happiness.

At times in our lives we can be unexpectedly faced with difficult and challenging circumstances. Reaching out for help and support is a courageous first step. I am whole-heartedly committed to helping you address your needs and concerns in a compassionate, caring way. I have worked with a variety of clients from diverse backgrounds and draw from both my clinical and lived experiences in creating for clients a safe, accepting environment.
