Hi! I'm Alison and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. Starting therapy can be nerve racking and even scary to some. I work with children and adults navigating through life changes, anxiety, depression and burnout. I've been a therapist for 10 years and in the last year I shifted my focus to working with parents struggling with burnout and anxiety. I find that these are the most common stressors affecting people in their day to day tasks and relationships. Regardless of what brings you here, I'd like for us to connect and help you reach your goals.
