Hello, I'm Allison. I'm glad you are taking the next step in addressing your mental health concerns and are considering working with a therapist. This is a big step and can be an intimidating one. It takes great courage to be vulnerable, especially with a new person! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in anxiety, OCD and related disorders. I empower individuals to take control of their lives, after often feeling pulled in a million directions by their mental health. I enjoy working with individuals age 16+, utilizing a variety of techniques and interventions.

I work against the position that views human challenges through a narrow lens bound by diagnosis and pathology. In family therapy, I work with adolescents and their caregivers who are impacted by protracted conflict and disconnection. I work with couples who are caught in patterns of conflict, avoidance, and misunderstanding. Individual therapy places emphasis on the security and safety of the therapeutic relationship in order to create opportunities for change.

Emily is a Couples and Family Therapist who is available to help you work on your relationship with yourself, or with other significant people in your life.

You deserve to be happy. Therapy doesn't have to painful. I want to find out about you and help you find the solutions that work for you. Life is too short to be in bad relationships, or to let trauma control us or to be anxious and angry all the time. I want you to be free of emotional pain, able to deal with life on life's terms, and to find meaning and purpose in your family, friendships, work, spirituality and all other life's areas. During my 24 years as a therapist I have helped individuals, couples and families find healing and understanding.

My strengths as a clinician are working with young adults, young couples, and women who have survived traumatic events, including ongoing interpersonal trauma, and who want support to process these experiences in order to show up more fully for their lives in the present. I also really enjoy supporting individuals and couples as they are making transitions in their lives and in their relationships, growing their family, navigating pregnancy and postpartum stages, striving to better integrate their careers and family, and deepening intimacy and connection with each other.

Friends and family may be your biggest resource for support. However, you may be faced with challenges and struggles, that their advice can't address. Or, they may be part of the problem. That's why it's best to turn to a professional who can provide the skill needed to help you face these challenges in an objective, nurturing environment. My years of experience have given me the opportunity to counsel many individuals, couples and families, with a wide range of issues. Let me hear from you. I'll help you get back on track.

What would it be like to feel better? There is a path to better living and you do not have to walk it alone!

I provide therapy for individuals, couples, families, adults and children. I have worked with many different clients providing the support needed for change. My experience at various social service agencies, at a child and family clinic; and in a college clinic has given me the opportunity to work with many adults, children, adolescents and families. I find my training in marriage and family therapy is particularly helpful for my clients in that it helps individuals better understand their relationships with themselves and others in their life. I regularly look at the systemic process in relationships, and at attachment issues.

Life is too short to be living a life that 'does not work'. Family of origin patterns often interfere with successful relationships; using Imago therapy we can uncover and heal emotional patterns that prevent marriages from thriving. The stresses of life can be overwhelming especially if one is not in a good relationship with oneself - are you your own best friend? Sometimes anxiety or depression or anger get in the way of a satisfactory life; it doesn't have to be that way and I can help you change what needs to be changed.

Do you have unresolved issues with yourself, in your relationship, or within your family? You are not alone, and you do not need to suffer. I provide therapy to individuals, couples, and families dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, relationships and more. I will help you heal old wounds, form secure attachments, and develop effective ways of managing your thoughts, feelings, and actions.

Do you feel stuck in unsatisfying ways of relating with others? Do you feel like you are always 'pushing a boulder uphill' at work or at home and wonder if you will ever be able to find relief? Do you run through the same negative scenarios and thoughts in your mind and feel unable to turn them off? Perhaps you turn to habits that help you to feel better in the short run, but make you feel worse in the long run.

As the owner of Life Guidance Associates I love seeing my patients get better! I firmly believe a "good fit" between therapist and patient is key to success! I Integrate evidence based strategies. My style is direct and interpersonal. In treatment we will address not only your current issues but their source. Therapy is always a collaborative experience for my patients. It takes some time to fully resolve years of interpersonal relationship problems, previous trauma, unhealthy coping skills, feelings of emptiness, helplessness, powerlessness, anxiety, depression etc. but with patience and persistence it can be done!

My approach to treatment is one of compassion and collaboration. My goal is to develop a positive working relationship with you and help create a space in which you can begin to better understand yourself, resolve problems, and heal the past. My approach is practical, down to earth, and individualized to your needs. Therapy doesn't have to be mysterious or scary. I enjoy working with those who are new to therapy and want to help you feel comfortable and in control.

Being a student is hard and being a student athlete can be even more difficult as you have so many responsibilities that pull you in various directions. The stress you feel, you do not have to carry. My goal is to assist individuals in overcoming challenges and to reach their full potential. I will help you release the heaviness you are carrying. I believe progress toward individual goals cannot be met by a singular focus on the negative aspects of life, and we cannot build on holes. To reach our full potential, we need build on strengths, release anxiety, and transform our challenging experiences into future motivation and growth.

No matter what life brings you, treatment can bring you "home." All walks of life and all experiences are unique, so your treatment will be tailored to fit for you. Direction, support, guidance and healing available now.

If you need a peaceful place to be heard with compassion, I can help. I believe the key to our mental health is being able to express our true selves and be heard. Receiving guidance for understanding and navigating emotions and behaviors that may be blocking our goals can lead to living more of the life we were meant to live. I work with individuals, children, couples or families. We can journey together with hope toward healing and thriving.
