Sometimes, situations and feelings are too much to bear alone. In therapy, you have a chance to be heard, to be seen and valued, and to express your deepest feelings. With a gentle and compassionate presence, I create a safe place for you to go within and find the core of who you are--and from that place, be guided. With a nonjudgmental and caring outlook, I invite awareness, acceptance, and appreciation of all emotions and their expression, including the difficult ones, giving them room to BE, and then they can change.

Hi! I'm Allison. I enjoy working with pre-teens, teens and young adults in need of support to address self-doubt, perfectionism, or anxiety. They may feel overwhelmed by others' expectations or shy away from relationships. They need a safe, non-judgmental space to explore their thoughts and emotions. They and their parents' goals are focused on building confidence, embracing imperfections, and developing deeper connection with others. They want to feel more comfortable in their own skin and find joy in being themselves—without the pressure to be perfect.

This work is ideal for those navigating life transitions, low self-esteem, or high sensitivity.
I tend to work best with highly sensitive, creative, and intuitive-leaning individuals who are ready to explore their inner world with curiosity and courage. They may be navigating major life transitions, change, or uncertainty, letting go of identities or beliefs that no longer serve them, reclaiming their voice, or existing in the space between who they were and who they are becoming. This work is most rewarding for those who are willing to lean into self-reflection, experiment with creative, embodied, and expressive practices, and take active steps toward personal growth and self-discovery.

I specialize in supporting kids and young adults with self-esteem, giftedness, perfectionism and a sense of belonging.
I have always been drawn to kids and young adults who feel like they don’t quite fit — often sensitive, quirky, bright or hard on themselves. Some are underachieving in school despite clear potential; others struggle with perfectionism or anxiety about not being “enough” or being "too much." I help build self-acceptance, connection and a sense of belonging. Your child deserves to feel proud of who they are, not in spite of their differences but because of them.
While I certainly enjoy working with young people excited for therapy, I also work very well with children who are having hesitations.

Hello and welcome to my profile. Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing something broken with a lacquer of precious metals like gold or silver. I like to think of this beautiful restorative art as a metaphor for the work clients do when they come together to heal themselves and restore their relationships with one another. Returning to graduate school as an older adult, I find that my years of life experience have enhanced my studies and work as a therapist. I am currently an LMFT at Tucson Lasting Connections.

When should a person seek therapy for low self-esteem?
When self-esteem problems begin to disrupt the healthy daily functioning of an individual, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not engaging with friends for fear of being judged, not completing work assignments because they don’t think they’re capable, or not finding romantic love because they don’t feel they’re worthy of it, a therapist may be able to help.
What are the signs of low self-esteem?
Low self-esteem is a common issue that can affect a person's mental and emotional well-being. Some common signs of low self-esteem include negative self-talk, perfectionism, social anxiety, difficulty making decisions, an inability to set boundaries, people-pleasing, and others. A lack of belief in oneself or one’s abilities and a feeling of not being worthy or deserving underlie most of these characteristics.
What causes low self-esteem?
Feelings of low self-worth can begin in childhood or adulthood. Being raised by a highly critical parent or growing up feeling constant disapproval can stay with a person well into adulthood. Specific issues in adulthood may also be a cause of low self-esteem. An unhappy relationship, a dysfunctional work or school experience can impact a person’s feelings of self-worth.
How can therapy improve self-esteem?
Therapists can help identify negative thought patterns that keep the client stuck in a loop of destructive self-talk and develop coping skills to change the voice in their head. A therapist can help with goal-setting, so that clients are better able to stay on task and build confidence from successfully completing work they’re proud of. Coaching a client on how to better communicate can improve relationships. These skills can result in someone with low self-esteem feeling empowered and living with less fear.
