Hello! I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in PA, and I’m currently accepting new virtual individual therapy clients. I earned my Master's in Mental Health Counseling and Addiction Studies Certificate in 2015 and have worked in substance use disorder and mental health treatment since 2014. I have a passion for working with individuals from dysfunctional or addicted family systems, as well as those navigating codependency. I believe that understanding the dynamics of relationships is crucial for healing and growth. My goal is to provide a safe space where you can explore these patterns and develop healthier connections.

First session

In our first session, I will gather background information and create a supportive environment for you to explore your current feelings and challenges. Together, we will discuss your goals and develop a plan for our follow-up sessions.

Strengths

My approach to therapy is collaborative and strength-based, tailored to each individual’s unique needs. I work in a direct yet supportive way, with the goal of helping clients identify practical solutions and build on their existing resilience.

Ideal clients

Many of the clients I work with have set goals to better understand themselves, change patterns of behavior that they feel stuck in, and improve their relationships.

Treatment methods

Motivational Interviewing

I typically utilize a combination of Motivational Interviewing, Relapse Prevention Therapy (RPT), Strength Based therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Psychoeducation.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients recognize the thoughts and triggers that drive their substance use or unhealthy relationship patterns, develop healthier coping strategies, and build skills for long-term change.

A fantastic help with complex relationship dynamics. Clearly very well informed on feminist and leftist theory and brings a perspective that like-minded patients will find helpful and refreshing.

Allison is very good at listening to my babble and somehow finding the key points I made. Her questions are great and she definitely is steering me in the right direction. She listens intently and challenges when appropriate. I highly recommend her.
