As a licensed therapist in Florida, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My approach centers on compassionate, personalized care that honors each client's unique journey. I have extensive experience helping people work through challenges like depression, anxiety, life transitions, and interpersonal dynamics.
My therapeutic practice focuses on empowering clients to develop deeper self-understanding, improve communication skills, and cultivate resilience. I'm particularly passionate about supporting individuals through various life stages, addressing issues like self-esteem, social anxiety, and personal growth.
Drawing from evidence-based practices, I create a warm, supportive environment where clients can explore their experiences, heal from past wounds, and develop meaningful strategies for emotional well-being. My goal is to walk alongside you, offering guidance and support as you move toward greater personal understanding and fulfillment.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Love her
My therapist is responsive and knowledgeable. She extends herself to my needs and I feel comfortable and confident in her abilities to help with the debilitating symptoms of anxiety and depression I’m facing.
Alison has helped me very much through my trauma related to the hurricane and has provided me with the tools to manage my feelings, anxiety, and coping mechanisms on how to move forward and past it all. Alison is educated, experienced, personable and very compassionate. I highly recommend her, and have, to all.
Alison is amazing!!
She is amazing!
Alison is a good listener who is fully present during the conversation and helps guide and direct to move past the hurdles and challenges in our lives. Highly recommend her, and have, to a friend.
Alison has completely changed my life! I’ve been in therapy for quite awhile, with multiple therapists, and they’ve been ok enough. However, I knew from the very first appointment that she was different, and that I was actually going to get somewhere with her. She understands what I need to progress, and straight up asks me what I need if it’s not very clear. Her homework, goals, and consistent communication throughout the week, also helps. She’s a great therapist and human, highly recommend!
She listens and has solutions! Absolutely terrific at her job. You can sense her level of caring. She works for you!
Alison is Great ! I love the help and support and expertise she offers.
