About Alison
Alison believes clients are the experts on their own lives. She works alongside people to identify practical steps that match their goals and values. Sessions are aimed at improving day-to-day functioning and increasing confidence rather than labeling or defining a person by a diagnosis.
With 12 years of clinical experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW, Alison has supported people through transitions like caregiving strain, divorce, adoption and foster care questions, and aging concerns. She also addresses challenges such as anxiety, depression, sleep and eating struggles, and issues related to intimacy or attachment.
Her work includes attention to complex life contexts like chronic illness, chronic pain, and co-morbidity, plus relationship concerns such as commitment, control, and blended family dynamics. Alison also offers support around identity and sexuality topics including LGBT matters and kink-affirming discussions when they are relevant to a client’s goals.
In sessions Alison uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person. She encourages clear, manageable steps and helps people practice new approaches between meetings. If you are ready to begin, she asks that you select the Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire to schedule based on availability.
