I believe deeply in the power of compassion, and that healing happens in the presence of an accepting witness. Life can be so hard at times, and we all need someone with whom we feel safe to open up to about our painful or complex struggles. I strive to be an empathetic, non-judgmental and empowering coach in your triumphs and struggles alike. My mission is to create a place for you to find and express your authentic self and feel heard, witnessed, and valued.
My clinical specialties include anxiety, adjustment/life transitions, crisis care, depression, emotional regulation, familial challenges, grief and loss, guilt and shame, recovery from abuse or neglect, recovery from substance abuse, relationship challenges, self-esteem development, sexual concerns, and trauma-related issues.
Some people prefer to be seen alone; others like to bring those close to them into their session(s) for support or to work through interpersonal challenges together. I enjoy working with all ages, as each phase of life includes challenging and yet rewarding times, with unique opportunities for growth. It will be my joy to partner with you on your journey.

Written by A.U. after counseling with Allison for 1 month I really enjoyed my conversations with Allison Grace. She listened intently to my concerns and was able to help me organize my thoughts. I was so grateful she had a background in SPED. I had some issues with my special needs child and she helped and empathized with me. I would recommend her to anyone. She helped me so much. I will be using her in the future.

Written by L.A. on Apr 09, after counseling with Allison for 6 months Ally is absolutely phenomenal. I was a little hesitant to make the switch to online therapy, but overall its been a great decision. She's been by my side since September and I really appreciate how open our communication is. I've been able to put more focus on my mental health and have a more balanced outlook.
