Hello, I'm Allison!
I specialize in guiding high-conflict families and couples through their unique challenges in order to find connection and peace again. With training in EMDR and a strong emphasis on the mind-body connection, my therapeutic approach is rooted in trauma-informed practices that lead you to a life that is more grounded. Together, we will navigate the intricacies of your emotions, regulate your nervous system, and explore the depths of your past to disrupt patterns that no longer serve you.
Whether you're seeking to strengthen your self-esteem, improve relationships, or find peace within, I am here to support you. Take the first step towards healing by calling for a free 15-minute consultation. I look forward to connecting with you!
