Hello and welcome! I’m Allison, and I am a therapist dedicated to empowering individuals on their journey to mental and emotional well-being.

Whether you're navigating the effects of trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, or simply seeking personal growth, I am here to guide and support you. My therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy, active listening, and collaboration, as I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is the foundation for positive change.

I support couples who need help to resolve chronic conflicts, repair after boundary crossing/infidelity, improve communication, and restore intimacy. As an individual therapist I work with folks through anxiety, grief, heartbreak, major life transitions, and issues with self trust, compassion, and forgiveness. I specialize in reproductive mental health encompassing family planning, postpartum, and pregnancy loss. I value the tears, the laughter, the silence, and the uproar in equal measure.

I seek to help my clients thrive within their community and experience a grounded and vital sense of connectedness to self and all others. I utilize a holistic approach that embraces one's intersections and addresses mental, emotional, and somatic (bodily) experiences.

Hello! I’ve been working with children, teens and adults in a therapeutic context, for over 15 years.

I have additional training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing), Quantum Healing Hypnosis Therapy, & Plant Spirit Healing. I'm interested in guiding one through a transformative experience while cultivating their present moment awareness in order to emerge and align with one's Higher Self and life purpose.

My areas of expertise include: depression, anxiety, adjustment/relational issues, self-esteem, and trauma. Treatment is tailored to each individual person. A holistic therapy approach is utilized, which is the combination of contemporary and alternative treatments with evidence-based practices to assist a person in achieving balance in mind, body, and energy. A deeper understanding of the whole self can lead to increased self-awareness, self-esteem, self-acceptance, and emotional/physical well-being.

Are you living with the pain of childhood trauma? Do you have a hard time setting boundaries or feeling safe because your trust was violated in the past? Is negative thinking keeping you from feeling confident in yourself and your choices? Even if you’re struggling right now, you do possess inner wisdom that can guide you toward clarity and healing. As your therapist, I will help you reconnect with your body so you can explore your emotions and strengths in a transformative, meaningful way. Collaborating together, we can enhance a sense of empowerment in your life.

Welcome! If you are feeling overstimulated and overwhelmed by life right now, I see you. If you are feeling confused about who you are amid life transitions or traumatic experiences, you are not alone. When a traumatic event happens, however big or small, we learn to hide parts of ourselves we deem unacceptable or unlovable. When we are faced with a big life change or constant stressors, these parts will pop up and make us feel out of control. It’s hard to trust yourself when there is a war going on in your head, and your body is screaming “danger!” at every turn.

Clients who benefit most from my practices struggle with anxiety, depression, panic, somatic symptoms, feeling overwhelmed, not knowing who they are or what they want, feeling isolated, passionless, existentially challenged, lack of motivation, difficulty with boundaries, trauma, problems in relationships or at work, or who have a hard time sticking to a plan. It can be hard to identify exactly why a person feels like they need therapy, but getting started and showing up is the hardest part!

You feel broken, stuck, and afraid to talk about what happened. Why bring up things you want to forget? You tried talking about it and you were told “you have it better than I did” or weren’t believed. You pushed it down but end up exhausted and empty inside. You're ashamed. Was it your fault? You try to act normal but no one knows the real you. You don’t have energy and don’t know what you enjoy. You don't have friends, you are too burned out. When you aren’t numb you're angry, anxious, and second guessing everything. Why can't you get over it? You keep reliving the mistakes that reinforces the “proof" of your worthlessness.

We all want to feel better from time to time. We get stuck, sad, scared, alone. And right now during these uncertain times, many of us are struggling. Well, there is good news! The field of psychology, through research in neuroscience, has uncovered new powerful and effective ways that really work to build our resilience, improve our lives and relationships, and help us feel more connected and alive. I want to help you experience all of that. You just need to reach out, which is hard. I promise you though, if you take that step, you will feel better.

I work with a diverse clientele, including musicians, actors, comedians and artists. I am actively involved in supporting the LGBTQIA community and I am sensitive to the cultural issues within this community. I have worked directly with the Trans Community and have supported the successful transition of many people over the years. I have also supported couples in open, Polyamorous and non-traditional relationships. My main focus is to be a catalyst for my clients in their individualized development of new core capacities. Some of these core capacities include empathy, vulnerability, self-awareness, accountability and courage.

My style as a therapist is both affirmative and challenging. I seek to support and understand you so that we may together identify the obstacles that keep you from living a more fulfilling and creative life. Therapy often involves the following processes: Changing reactive patterns of behavior, like compulsive eating or the destructive use of anger. Learning about your "filters," which are habitual ways of interpreting life events that stem from your unique conditioning. Developing skills to modulate uncomfortable feelings, such as anxiety or sadness. Strengthening your core sense of self and values.

As an experienced mother, yogi and licensed marriage, child and family therapist, I can assist you to get the tools you need to feel better and have more rewarding relationships. Call me for a free consultation.

Audre Lorde wrote, “There is no such thing as a single-issue struggle because we do not live single-issue lives”. I believe and practice from this framework. We are relational beings connected to each other and society. At the intersections of ourselves and community, we may meet Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, and complex Relationships. Getting to know these Problems helps us to understand their origins and find solutions.

Offering confidential support, we'll address stressors, build resilience, and find clarity. Invest in your well-being and happiness. Take the first step towards a more balanced life. Reach out now.
