Therapy for a Brighter Tomorrow

“The wound is the place where the light enters you.”

-Rumi

Hi, I’m Alison

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with 12 years of experience in a variety of mental health settings including emergency departments, inpatient psychiatric hospitals, intensive outpatient group therapy programs, and private practice.

I work with individuals and couples who are facing challenges with adjustment and life transitions, anxiety, depression, PTSD and complex trauma, relationship and communication issues, and sex and intimacy concerns.

My work is deeply relational, trauma-informed, and tailored to meet your individual needs. I have training in Internal Family Systems, Polyvagal Approach, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Somatic-based approaches, Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Relational Life Therapy. I bring authenticity, compassion, and empathy to my work. I also weave humor into my sessions, when appropriate, as I firmly believe in its healing quality and capacity to promote empathic connection.
