Focus: Therapy for eating disorders, OCD, overcontrol, perfectionism, anxiety, self-esteem, and relationship challenges.

Biography: Allison is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who specializes in the treatment of eating disorders, OCD, and concerns related to anxiety, perfectionism, and self-criticism.

Allison believes therapy is a process of coming home to oneself in order to connect more fully with others and the world around. She honors vulnerability as strength and cultivates curiosity to help clients respond more flexibly to life’s challenges and develop authentic connections.

She is certified in Levels 1 and 2 of Radically Open Behavioral Therapy (RO-DBT) and integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Emotion Focused Family Therapy (EFFT), and Family Based Therapy (FBT) to meet each client’s unique needs and empower parents to confidently support their child’s recovery.

Additionally, she holds certification as an Eating Disorder Specialist from the International Association of Eating Disorders Professionals (iaedp™) and aligns with the principles of Health at Every Size (HAES). She has extensive experience working across residential, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient levels of care and values the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration.

She creates a warm, collaborative space where clients can slow down, practice self-compassion, and develop new ways of relating to themselves and their experiences. In her free time, she enjoys spending time reading, trying out new recipes, and enjoying nature whether that be through gardening, hiking, or anything involving Lake Michigan.
