Alison works collaboratively with each client to tailor treatment to their unique circumstances, addressing issues such as attachment and abandonment, communication difficulties, domestic violence, first responder concerns, guilt and shame, isolation, life purpose, post-traumatic stress, and women’s issues.

Her approach is client-focused and adaptable, guided by decades of work helping individuals and professionals recover resilience and build healthier ways of living and relating.
