Allison enjoys working 1) women who struggle with perfectionism and people pleasing and 2) children and teens who struggle with perfectionism, anxiety or mood changes and grief. I use techniques such as play or art therapy, depending on your child's preferences. Perfectionism & a lack of self-acceptance lie at the core of many issues. I teach people to unconditionally accept themselves and handle distress instead of allowing it to bully you. Art or faith focus available upon request.
I also help adults who perhaps are "supposed to" feel loved & worthy, but just can't "feel it." Maybe you replay conversations with a family member or colleague, or put tremendous pressure on yourself. Hi! I'm Allison & I'm an Enneagram type 1, "the perfectionist." I can help you find your "type," which then in turn shifts the way we feel, think and behave.
I am trained also in attachment-focused therapies such as TBRI (Trust-Based Relational Intervention) and Theraplay, especially designed for early developmental trauma experienced through foster care or adoption.
