My true passions are assisting individuals in coping with grief and loss and educating caregivers on taking care of their loved ones who suffer from dementia. I use motivational interviewing to work on self-esteem and confidence issues.

Alison has helped me very much through my trauma related to the hurricane and has provided me with the tools to manage my feelings, anxiety, and coping mechanisms on how to move forward and past it all. Alison is educated, experienced, personable and very compassionate. I highly recommend her, and have, to all.

Alison has completely changed my life! I’ve been in therapy for quite awhile, with multiple therapists, and they’ve been ok enough. However, I knew from the very first appointment that she was different, and that I was actually going to get somewhere with her. She understands what I need to progress, and straight up asks me what I need if it’s not very clear. Her homework, goals, and consistent communication throughout the week, also helps. She’s a great therapist and human, highly recommend!
