Life’s transitions can shake your foundation, especially when they touch the most intimate parts of who you are—your body, your relationships, your dreams. Infertility, pregnancy loss, or medical trauma can leave you feeling untethered and questioning yourself, all while the world expects you to push through. But healing doesn’t come from ignoring the pain—it comes from honoring your emotions, rewriting the stories you carry, and reconnecting with your inner strength. Together, we’ll create space to rediscover clarity, trust, and meaning in your life.

How are you? No really, how ARE you? Because I am interested in the real you. The you behind the mask. The you that may be uncomfortable in their current life pattern, struggling with intrusive thoughts, difficulty working through trauma, wrangling with ADHD, or even wanting to tear their hair out as a new parent. Or perhaps you wake up each day between 2-4am, wondering: How the heck did I get here? Or maybe you are grieving dreams that did not turn out as expected, whether a relationship ending, or a life plan gone awry.

Are you feeling anxious or overwhelmed? Have you tried everything you can think of to solve the problem, change your circumstances, or just feel better on your own? If you're deep in the mire of anxiety and depression, trying to make a positive change, or just barely managing to make it through the day, it can be tough to think that things could be different. You can feel frustrated, disconnected, and stuck. Getting the right support can be the ticket to moving out of being stuck and taking steps toward living the life you'd like to be living.

You're usually the the go-to person for your family, friends, or coworkers so prioritizing your own mental health almost feels selfish. You feel like you have a million balls in the air, but if you stop they'll all come tumbling down. You want help from your partner or family, but you usually don't ask for it since you're often left disappointed and more frustrated. So you silently struggling, looking cool and collected on the outside, but you're really suffering on the inside. You know you need some help to finally slow down and navigate the burnout and stress you're feeling.

There are times in life that we find ourselves struggling to make sense of something that has happened or trying to figure out what is holding us back from being our best selves. We all have those relationships (friends/work/family/romantic), life changes, and events that impact us on deeper levels and influence our decisions, whether we know it or not. If you are seeking assistance with exploring past or present issues in your life, I am here to offer support and guidance.

My name is Alison, and I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist. I specialize in anxiety and depression and work with clients to increase their self-efficacy through building their sense of control and self-understanding.

You feel stuck and don’t know what to do next, wishing you could stay in bed forever. What used to be easy now feels overwhelming. Your deepest fear is that you’re inherently bad, defective, "too much," unworthy, or unlovable. You might feel alone, isolated, frightened, angry, lost, or even enraged. If you’re queer, trans, gender nonbinary, neurodivergent, disabled, chronically ill, fat, or bigger-bodied, you’re welcome here. If you struggle with depression, anxiety, bereavement, disordered eating, or body image issues—no matter your age or if you’re seeking “outside help”—you belong. You are the expert on your own experience.

Are you finding it difficult to express your needs with someone in your life?

You will face many defeats in your life, but never let yourself be defeated by Maya Angelou. Life is full of positive moments where the strength to define ourselves and develop skills to live more fully are easily found. But when life becomes whittled with challenges, stress, and struggles, the test then becomes learning to navigate our feelings, recognize our thoughts, and make changes in our behavior to live more wholly. Most of the time we are capable of handling life’s stresses, but sometimes things can get too overwhelming and stressful, and we need help.
