Welcome! I offer holistic therapy that blends deep listening, mindfulness-based exploration, and practical strategies. I help worried people find greater ease - and in that ease, to begin to act from a place of authenticity and build meaningful connections. I bring a trauma-informed approach to exploring themes of anxiety, depression, fear of abandonment, relationship health, body image and eating issues. I also love working with artists, young adults, new parents, and individuals in high stress careers.
My style is warm, curious and active. I believe in the healing power of having a safe space to talk with someone who can help you understand why things may be feeling the way they are feeling. I also get in there alongside you - helping you heal through the use of exploratory questions, mindfulness and somatic work, and the practice of new skills.
Prior to becoming a therapist, I taught creative writing in educational and community settings. I value curiosity and the importance of healing, seeking and learning. I am committed to understanding my clients in the context of their lives and cultures. Please reach out - I'm happy to answer any questions you might have!

Allison is a truly unique therapist in the way that just being in her presence has it’s own calming affect. She is your guiding light through the rewarding yet challenging experience of processing deep trauma and emotions. She has my highest regards.
