Meet Alison
With a deep commitment to understanding and supporting vulnerable populations, I have pursued extensive education and certifications to enhance my expertise. My personal journey of overcoming a rare genetic disorder has profoundly shaped my therapeutic approach, fostering resilience, empathy, and compassion. Driven by a passion for instilling hope, self-belief, and courage in others, I approach therapy collaboratively. I believe the counseling process thrives on mutual respect and partnership, working together to foster growth and healing. My nonjudgmental attitude and dedication to each individual's unique experience ensure that every client feels valued and empowered on their path to well-being. As a mental health professional, I bring diverse experience working in detox, inpatient rehabilitation, severe mental health, home visiting, and with individuals in violent, diverse, and drug-ridden communities. I utilize a variety of effective therapeutic approaches and specialize in treating patients facing challenges such as PTSD, addiction, anxiety, mood disorders, LGBTQ identity, body dysmorphic disorder, narcissistic and antisocial personality disorders, domestic abuse, and schizoaffective disorder.
