We offer individualized therapy for mental health where we unpack your relationship with food and your body, debunk diet culture myths, and help you finally feel at peace with yourself.
Our therapist, Allison, loves creating a safe and collaborative space that honors and respects your individual journey in healing your relationship with food and body.
We believe in a collaborative approach that honors your unique experiences and autonomy. Your personal story, challenges, and strengths form the foundation of our work together. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method, we tailor our support to align with your individual needs and goals.
Allison draws from a diverse range of therapeutic modalities, viewing your journey through a trauma-informed, socially aware, and culturally sensitive lens. Her primary toolkit includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), complemented by holistic approaches. In your work together, you'll dive deeper in exploring the nuances of being human, and together, you'll explore this very hard and brave healing journey.
We understand that trauma can profoundly impact your relationship with food and your body. Our therapy approach focuses on creating a safe, supportive environment where you can process past experiences at your own pace. We're here to rebuild a sense of safety in your life. Our goal is to help you not just survive, but thrive.
In your sessions, you'll have the opportunity to explore the nuances of your human experience in a safe, supportive environment. We acknowledge that this healing journey can be challenging, but also incredibly rewarding. Our role is to provide compassionate guidance as you navigate this path of self-discovery and growth.
We're committed to creating a space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. Together, we'll work towards developing a gentler relationship with food, your body, and yourself. We're here to walk beside you every step of the way.

Hi! I’m Allison (she/her), a therapist and body liberation advocate.
I believe therapy is a safe and collaborative space that honors and respects you as a whole person. Therapy is a place that allows you to feel empowered and secure when exploring a path that may feel uncomfortable and scary at times.
Our hope is that your relationship with your mind and body becomes easier and freer, and you find your own soft place to land.
