Proudest Moment: My proudest moment was cutting the ribbon on a Transitional Age Youth Housing Program after personally spending months working to renovate, furnish, and decorate the property - turning it from a house to a home.

SuperPower: To bring a sense of safety and positivity to each session

  • I completed my Master’s in Mental Health Counseling at Alliance Graduate School of Counseling in Nyack, NY.

  • I have always felt called to partner with families to help guide them toward wellness and success. I love working alongside parents and children to help them achieve more harmonious and productive journeys throughout life.

  • To help empower and motivate parents and children to make changes and move closer to their goals.

What families are saying about Allison

 

“It’s so sweet - I am seeing my old daughter back. She seems much more carefree like she used to be. She is able to joke around, and laugh at herself more and she stopped shaming herself so much. My advice to other parents? Just do it, every minute you wait is a mistake.”

“The entire process was really simple and I appreciate the ease of it all. But most importantly, my kid ACTUALLY looks forward to every session! We love our therapist, the tool box and the family app that keeps us in the loop.”
