I help with managing difficult emotions, getting unstuck, healing one's relationship with oneself and others, and growing in greater acceptance of situations to be able to change what can be changed and learn to adapt to or limit exposure to what cannot be changed.
When I work with a client, their world and concerns are my primary focus. I focus on helping clients determine their values, their focus and mission in life, and finding ways to navigate the realities of their situation to live it more fully and smoothly. People tend to get stuck for a variety of and/or combination of reasons: their own mental health struggles, difficulties navigating relationships, the hardships and traumas of life experiences leaving their marks, challenging systems to navigate, addictions, as well as lack of clarity of who they are and what they want to be about in life.

Is negative body image running your life? Maybe you’ve had disordered eating habits for months or years and now you’re wondering whether you could ever feel “normal” around food again. Maybe you’ve been through difficult life experiences in the past and your body continues to respond as if they're happening in the present.

I like to use emperically proven therapies (CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, ERP, ACT) while incorperating an humanistic approach with empathy, validation, and humor to treat a range of mental and behavioral health issues.
CS Lewis wrote that you can't go back to the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending. I enjoy working with clients who are willing to challenge themselves to change and grow when they can no longer accept the way they've been living; those who have a desire to find wisdom in some of life's inevitable challenges: our mistakes, our sorrow, and our fears. I love to assist clients as they construct meaning, gaining a better understanding themselves and others, and as they plan to move forward with intentionality after adversity.

I also integrate other scientifically proven methodologies (CBT and ACT) into the work to ensure that your goals are met practically.
You’re tired, drained, and unsure how to move forward, despite your best efforts. You’ve been pushing down your emotions for years, trying to survive the pain that opening up only seemed to deepen. But dodging past traumas and navigating complicated relationships has left you feeling stuck, disconnected, and questioning your worth. You’re no longer feeling like the person you want to be, and the self-doubt and critical voices won’t quiet down. Your relationships are suffering, and so are you. It doesn’t have to stay this way. Together, we’ll break this cycle, heal old wounds, and help you reconnect with yourself and your life.

As you set goals and work through challenges aligned in faith, psychotherapeutic strategies from CBT, ACT, DBT and others will be learned.
Your life feels heavy, hopeless, chaotic and out of control. Your mind is racing, you're exhausted from people-pleasing and your self-confidence is at an all-time low. Anxiety, depression, and stress are ruling your life, and it feels as if you may never feel peace again. You struggle with guilt, comparison, and nothing ever feels like it is enough. You have thoughts that you could never say out loud to friends and family, all the while desperate for support. You need to find yourself. Maybe you know God, maybe you are in question about who God is, or maybe it hurts to even think about God. There's so much you need to sort out.

Hello! My name is Allison and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC-S) with the state of Ohio. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to start, I’m here to support you in a way that feels collaborative, honest, and affirming.
I bring a laid-back, warm, and sometimes even fun presence into the therapy room. My clients often tell me they feel both safe and challenged—which I take as the highest compliment. I believe therapy should be a place where you can show up as your full self, without fear of judgment, and where real growth is possible.

I utilize both cognitive focused, top-down (CBT, DBT, ACT, SFBT) and experiential, bottom-up (EMDR, Somatic techniques, IFS concepts) approaches in my practice.
My approach to therapy is grounded in genuine curiosity of people's stories, and the idea that we all hold within us an inner ability to heal. Trauma, anxiety, depression, and the everyday stresses of life can disconnect us from not only others, but from ourselves, blocking our ability to tap into this inner wisdom. With a supportive, grounded approach, you can begin to explore your story and reconnect with yourself and your brain, body, and nervous system's amazing abilities to heal.
