Great to meet you!

Hi! Happy to have you here! I'm Alison, founder of Sacred Space Counseling. I believe therapy is a sacred process- one that offers you a safe, supportive place to show up fully, explore your experiences, cultivate strategies to help in times of anxiety or stress, heal/untangle old wounds, and reconnect with your true self.

Whether you're navigating anxiety, old hurts, relationship challenges, lack of self compassion, self-awareness, or simply seeking deeper understanding of your self, I'm here to walk beside you. I welcome and accept ALL HUMANS 18 and up.

My clinical experience includes working in psychiatric residential treatment facilities and community mental health settings. I’ve had the privilege of supporting adults and adolescents in individual, family, and group therapy settings.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I embrace an electic therapy approach, drawing from a range of evidence-based modalities. This integrative style helps tailor each session to your unique needs, goals, and spiritual orientation (not required!). My goal is to provide a sanctuary for personal growth, healing, self-compassion, and transformation. I offer a compassionate, easy going and empathetic environment where individuals can explore their inner world, navigate life's challenges, and reconnect with their authentic self.

What you can expect from our first session

Our first session is all about creating a safe, supportive space for you to share what brings you to therapy. I’ll ask some questions to get to know you—your story, goals, and what you’re hoping to gain from our work together—but there’s no pressure to have it all figured out. This is your time, and we’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable. Together, we’ll begin building a foundation of trust, clarity, and collaboration.
