Hi, I’m Allison. I received my master's from the University of Northern Iowa’s trauma-informed program and have worked in the field as an advocate for survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence. I am especially passionate about working with these populations and others such as survivors of abuse, violence, family trauma, and experience with the child welfare system. I also enjoy working with couples and working through conflicts to meet your goals individually and together. Experiencing abuse, violence, and trauma can look and feel different for everyone, sometimes making it hard to trust others and open up.

I work with ages 3 through adulthood: individuals, couples, and families. I have worked with individuals who have: depression, anxiety, Bipolar, grief from any type of loss, ADHD, Autism, stress, anger, divorce, and those who need a third party to talk to without judgement. I am trained in Adlerian Play Therapy for children and adults to reach beyond traditional talk therapy for self-expression/processing when words are hard to find. It is proven that children say much more in play than they have the words for.
