Great to meet you!

Hi there, I'm Alison.

Are you finding that you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed and in need of a lifejacket? Sometimes life can be very challenging, and I can offer guidance, compassion, and understanding without judgment. I work with others to help them discover their hidden strengths and resources, to truly create a life worth living. Seeking therapy can feel scary but you're making the right choice. I believe in creating a safe space that will allow you to heal and grow.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I utilize a variety of evidence-based modalities that are tailored specifically to your symptoms to help you feel better and offer you a sense of renewed hope.

What you can expect from our first session

We can work together to identify stumbling blocks and habitual pattern that may have held you back from creating your best life. Change can be hard, but I can help you discover ways to be more authentic, reduce suffering, and find more joy and meaning.
