Meet Alyson

Everyone has experienced trauma in their lives. Trauma causes us to over-adapt in our present lives. We may ‘overreact’ or shut down or just feel lost and stuck. But you don’t have to continue feeling like this! I strive to help clients believe in tomorrow. Tomorrow is a new day. We can meet it as we are or we can meet it with a skill set that allows us to overcome our past.

It is my goal to be a breath of fresh air to those whom I work with. I help my clients to understand trauma and its many effects on the brain and body. Frequently, my clients express that no other counselor has ever understood them in a more whole-hearted manner.

I am a licensed clinical professional counselor in Baltimore, Maryland and offer individual counseling to adults. I utilize evidenced-based treatment modalities for the treatment of anxiety, depression, trauma, and in general terms, feelings stuck.

``I realized that therapy isn't 'soft'... My saying is, 'Therapy is gangsta.' It actually empowered me. It allowed me to say things that I never thought about, but I would never want to hear myself say those things.``
