Change, growth, challenges, and transitions are inevitable, unavoidable, and often completely unexpected in life resulting in small traumas that can still cause significant distress in daily functioning. A part of being human involves having perceived “demons” in our closets or events we experienced in our past or childhood that may impact our present-day functioning. You may have unintentionally learned that repressing or not talking about these small traumas is the “appropriate” way to cope but it may not be working resulting in you feeling overwhelmed, stressed, upset, and like you are spinning out of control.

Hello! My name is Allyson. As a therapist I love connecting with individuals who are aspiring to live a life more aligned with their personal values.

I typically work with children (6 and up), teens and emerging adults.
