I specialize in working with teenagers, young adults, families and couples and can help with the following areas: family dynamics/divorce, trauma, school/work struggles, relationships, caregivers (compassion fatigue), body image, self-worth, career exploration, and athletics/performance mindset. Let’s work together to create a new narrative for your life and get you back on the path you were always meant to be on.

Among my primary goals as a therapist are to be authentic, compassionate and supportive, providing an atmosphere that feels safe and encouraging to my clients. Other important goals include honoring the cultural values and spiritual beliefs of my clients. I love the challenge of helping my clients discover how they have become entangled in self-sabotaging behaviors that have led to their distress and loneliness and then helping them explore options that will result in their achieving greater happiness, self-confidence and sense of personal power.

When Alison is in the room, you know that you are in a safe and sacred space; a place where you can celebrate and honor your experiences of being deeply human. Therapy is, simply put, an intuitive space for Alison. She knows how to take clients to a depth of knowledge and awareness and hold them there in compassion. As she does this, her clients discover their own inner wisdom and learn to be who they already are. Alison has a love and enjoyment in helping you to find clarity in what you are wanting. She understands that you are wanting change, but don’t yet know how to bring it about or quite where to start.

Everyone has an innate desire for others to see them and to show up for them. As your therapist, I am committed to creating a space where you feel seen and cared for. I am passionate about journeying alongside you as you do the hard work of learning about yourself. It is a brave thing to enter the therapeutic space and I am honored to step into that space with you.

I provide community based services using a variety of techniques. People truly desire happiness and want to perform at their highest levels but life places "blocks" that prevent them from reaching those goals. By removing the "blocks" I can assist the client in finding pleasure and success in life. My unique educational and professional background of Clinical and Sport & Performance Psychology as well as 8 years experience of being a licensed special education teacher enables me to provide a combination of services unlike that of any other clinician in the state. Technology is also a staple of my practice.

Are the challenges of your past, present, or future keeping you from moving forward? Do your tools, skills or habits need a tune-up? Or a replacement? I am a trauma-informed therapist with extensive experience working with clients, both individuals, and couples, on overcoming what is holding them back. Whether it is past trauma, current challenges, or future fears that are keeping you from getting to where you know you are capable of getting; I am here to help you figure out how to get there, and then keep going.

I love working with individuals, couples, and especially young adults using sound Biblical principles, advanced Brainspotting, CBT, EFT, and Narrative Therapy. I want to help couples build a strong foundation through premarital counseling and help existing couples struggling in their marriages. I want to walk along side people in the struggles they face or the traumas they need to overcome. To me it is a privilege to journey with people as they face the various challenges of life.

I practice person-centered therapy, which means that I aim to create a therapeutic environment of empathy, acceptance, and authenticity. During sessions, I give suggestions about techniques to try and skills to practice, but I believe my clients are the experts on their lives and what works best for them. My goal is to empower my clients to determine how they want to move forward rather than telling them what to do. I strive not to judge my clients for their actions; instead, I help them uncover the underlying thoughts and motivations behind their behaviors.

It is important to find the right therapist that you can connect with and establish a trusting relationship. I believe that when people come to therapy, they allow themselves opportunities for self-exploration and growth. It is my goal to create a safe space where you can make positive changes to live a more fulfilling life. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Addiction Treatment Therapist who has been practicing for over 5 years.
