Life is so busy and overscheduled and most people don't have time to sit with, reflect and process their experiences and emotions. Unacknowledged feelings become trapped in the body and mind- leaving us to feel less alive and clear. Therapy is dedicated time just for you to feel, sift through, release, heal and grow.

I highly recommend Alison! She is just amazing to work with. Friendly, compassionate and warm. She made me feel at ease right away. She always made herself available to me in case of questions or concerns and made me feel like a priority. When she relocated she gave me many wonderful referrals, but we still wish we had her back here!
