“Working with Alison was clarifying and empowering. She guides the session in a thoughtful way where I felt in control and encouraged to reflect on my problems. She’s non-judgemental and is very caring and supportive. She offers insight and empowers you to make positive life choices. I definitely became very clear of my issues in therapy and was offered clear strategies on how to approach them.”
“I’ve worked with many wonderful therapists but Alison sets herself apart. Beyond her excellent training, her innate qualities - remarkable warmth, compassion and total non-judgment - she puts clients immediately at ease. I have learned much from her and couldn’t recommend her more highly.”

“Ali is a gem of a human being. She is so committed to her client’s well-being and will make you feel instantly at ease. Her expertise in art therapy is unique and is a wonderful asset to the way in which she works with people. No matter the context~individual work, family work, couple’s work or group work, she is able to personalize your treatment with compassion and warmth. I feel lucky to know her.”
“Ali is fantastic! I worked along side Ali for for 5 years when we were both clinicians working with at risk youth at a day treatment facility. I had plenty of opportunities to observe her work and she is amazing. She is a gifted art therapist and has a magic about her when she talks to children. Since we both stopped being office neighbors I have moved on to become a Clinical Director at the SF YMCA and regularly hire Ali to do a variety of trainings for my clinicians involving Art therapy, non violent communication and compassion fatigue. Her trainings always get great reviews and are my favorite. Ali is thoughtful, professional, and has a great intuition for this work. I highly recommend her for individual and family and group therapy as well as training.”
“I have found Ali to be one of the most genuine, heart-based art healers I know. First of all, she will listen to all you have to say without any judgment or bias. Secondly, she has vast knowledge/resources from her 10+ years of training and experience. And finally, Ali truly cares about my issues. I have talked with her about relationship issues and anxiety —-and I found nothing but compassion AND the help I needed. I look forward to working with her again!”
“Alison is remarkably gifted in the art of making self-exploration and self-awareness fun! She is completely non-judgmental, compassionate, and loving. She is full of creative ideas and a vibrant energy, yet I always leave my conversations with her feeling grounded, centered, and calm. Alison is a very special person - I cannot recommend her highly enough.”
“I immediately felt a genuine connection with Ali. She listens with thought and intent, and has a calming presence and way about her. Her ability to combine art with therapy is inspiring! She is an expert in the field - she leads groups, works 1:1, and trains other professionals. I would highly recommend giving Ali a call to see for yourself!”
