Customer's reviews
Allison is a highly skilled, deeply supportive, and intuitive therapist. She specializes in anxiety, ADHD, and OCD, and brings warmth, curiosity, and expertise to her work. In addition to EMDR, Allison is trained in Brainspotting and incorporates expansion Brainspotting to help clients connect with their inner strengths, confidence, and capacity for growth—not just process what's difficult. She has a wonderful ability to help people move toward healing while building on what's already working. She's an exceptional therapist, and I would confidently recommend her to anyone seeking compassionate, effective care.

I’ve been seeing Allison for about three months now, and I can genuinely feel a difference. She’s become an important part of my healing journey.
Her approach is unlike anything I’ve experienced, especially her use of brainspotting, which really sets her apart. She has a deep understanding of anxiety and OCD, and she uses timing, skill, and intuition to truly understand me. She knows when to reflect, when to guide, and when to offer a perspective that shifts how I see things. She’s also great at pivoting and adjusting each session to what’s needed in the moment.
She’s incredibly calm and grounded. Being around her helps me settle, and it feels like a part of me can finally rest knowing I’m supported.
I’m really grateful to be working with her and look forward to continuing our sessions.

I met Allison for "Brainspotting" on a friend's recommendation. I found her to be friendly and a good listener. We talked and did some processing around my issue. The issue I had was work related anxiety and after hearing the description of the process, I was skeptical that this would be of any help. But after Brainspotting, I did notice a change. It's been several weeks and the anxiety is no longer there! Brainspotting with Allison really works...highly recommended!!
