Who am I? Where do I fit in? What do I want my life to look like? These questions can feel overwhelming, especially when you're growing up, navigating change, or feeling disconnected from yourself. I enjoy working with teens and adults who are exploring their identity, searching for purpose, or feeling stuck between who they are and who they want to become. Whether you're questioning expectations, struggling with self-doubt, or simply trying to find your way, you deserve a space to explore life's bigger questions without pressure to have all the answers.
My approach blends existential therapy with practical tools from solution-focused therapy and CBT. Together, we'll explore what gives your life meaning, work through thoughts that keep you stuck, and build confidence in your choices. I believe small steps and little enlightenments can lead to meaningful change.
Starting therapy can feel messy, scary, or awkward. That's okay. You can bring your questions, your uncertainty, and every part of yourself. I offer a patient, welcoming, and nonjudgmental space where we can move at your pace. Whether we talk about your day or life's biggest questions, you don't have to figure it out alone.
Feeling lost or unsure of your direction? Alison helps you explore your identity, discover what matters most, and find a greater sense of purpose.
Burnout can leave you feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and disconnected. Alison helps you set healthy boundaries, manage stress, and find a healthier balance.
Alison provides compassionate guidance for those navigating loss, creating a safe space for healing and growth.
