Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Missouri, as well as a Registered Art Therapist. During my 10 years of clinical experience, I have worked closely with groups and individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, PTSD, and many other mental health concerns with my emphases being trauma and crisis intervention. I use a person-centered approach which means our sessions are led by your needs and goals, not a one-size-fits-all therapeutic approach. Stuck in a rut? Not understanding why you just…can’t? I am here to help you process where you currently are mentally and emotionally, and to help guide you into a space in which you feel more aligned with who you are and your vision for yourself. Welcome to your journey!

Alison is fantastic, she has opened my eyes to the reality of what I have gone through throughout my life and how that has impacted me now, whilst providing healthy ways forward but always encourages me first to see if I can figure those things out myself, with her guidance of course. She's been accommodating, brilliantly helpful, understanding and is just overall wonderful. I couldn't recommend her enough and feel truly lucky to have her guidance.

She has done a great deal to help me understand my ADHD diagnosis and just, the way my brain works. Gaining that greater understanding of myself has been fantastic.
