“It took me a long time to summons the courage to see a therapist. It was something I’d wanted to do for a long time, but was too afraid to face my ‘inner demons’. Alison’s guidance has provided me with the tools to live a more empowered life, and an unexpected outcome was that it’s helped me to be a better friend. I feel like she’s my fan and sincerely wants to see me thrive.”

“I’ve been going to therapy for about four years now and after trying many different therapists who I just never really connected with, I found Alison and finally feel like I connect well with her. She has truly helped me find, stay and get back on my path of healing. I feel heard and supported by her. I really think I found the perfect therapist for me. I have also recommended her to people I know and they have all had very positive experiences as well. 10/10 would recommend.”

“I am privileged to have been a client of Alison for the past eight years and although I have had to seek out other therapists during this time for scheduling reasons, I’ve always come back to Alison. I have found her to be consistently present and insightful during our sessions, able to meet me wherever I’m at, and willing to tackle all matters big or small. She is gifted and her presence in my life has been a gift. I can’t imagine going through my future without her.”

Alison has been working with my six-year-old daughter for the past two years. My daughter was having tantrums regularly and my ex-wife and I both felt like this behavior was directly related to our separation. Since then, Alison has worked wonders with her by engaging her in active play. My daughter looks forward to her weekly appointment because of all the fun she has with Alison and her amazing toy collection. Yet during these two years she has learned how to lose a game gracefully and to not give up when she feels frustrated. She has also become more open with talking about her feelings. Alison has a wonderful way of working questions in during their play, so my daughter never feels like she’s being “forced to talk”. Rather, she has choice regarding how they will play during her special time together. I am so grateful to have found such a talented and compassionate therapist for my daughter and hope to maintain their relationship for many years to come.

“I was referred to Alison during an especially difficult time in my life as I was navigating postpartum depression and I am so lucky to have been connected to her. I have had incredible growth and healing through working with Alison. I highly recommend her to anyone I know looking for a therapist. She’s great with kids and couples too. I have gone through some very challenging transitions in my life and her skills and compassion kept me afloat til I could find my footing again. Something that I really needed in counseling was a refreshingly honest approach and she was able to meet me there. Through working with her I now have a better grasp of the areas where I was mostly unconscious and at the mercy of my symptoms. I have learned both practical skills for coping and worked deeper patterns related to my past. Alison brings true presence, compassion, perspective, experience and insight to our sessions.”

“Alison is an amazing and humble human, who has the innate and intuitive capacity to hold space for healing. I have been seeing her as needed for 5 years, and have referred many people, including my adult daughter and partner. She’s our family “Therapeace”. She has the gift of deep listening and also guided curiosity to help you get to the answers you already have dormant within, as well as find and nourish a peace in the place of not knowing, which is so very valuable at this time. Sessions with Alison are truly a gift of necessary care for your precious self.”
