Life is unexpected and consists of hard things, but you do not have to do life alone. We are called according to scripture to do life in relationship. Ecclesiastes 4:10 says “If one falls down, his friend can help him up”. Counseling can provide that hand up. It can be a way to address things from our past we have been holding on to or things in our present we need help walking through. No matter what your past or present, we all need someone to walk beside us. I am honored when a client allows me the privilege of seeing who they are and hearing their story.

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, MSW, LCSW
Verified
Welcome! I’m Allison and I specialize in treating trauma, anxiety, depression, & co-occurring addictions in a warm, inclusive & safe environment. We all have experiences from our past that have had a fragmenting impact on our lives, but the past doesn't have to define who we are or dictate who we are becoming. I believe you have an innate capacity to heal and grow into your best, most authentic self using therapy as a tool. Working together, we can identify ways of decreasing your symptoms, increasing your coping skills, addressing root cause(s), & most importantly, shifting self-sabotaging and/or addictive behavioral patterns.

I believe one of your goals in life should be to continually learn how to resolve the problems you run into. Obviously some problems do not go away and cannot be easily resolved. With these, you must learn understanding and coping skills to manage them instead of allowing these problems to manage you. This is what counseling is all about.
