Alyson has provided psychotherapeutic services to children, adolescents, and adults in inpatient, outpatient, and school settings. Her professional experiences have created opportunities to work with clients from different backgrounds, belief systems, and orientations: "I seek to understand the unique and shared experiences that are part of the human condition." After graduating from Bucknell University in 2003, Alyson worked in academic publishing for ten years before pursuing her graduate studies in Social Work. She creates an open, client-centered, and non-judgmental space for clients to explore their needs, challenges, and behaviors. Utilizing a psychodynamic approach to clients, she connects past, present, and future helping clients to create a future that is meaningful and fulfilling. A former peer support facilitator at Imagine, A Center for Coping with Loss in Mountainside, Alyson has particular experience and training with grief and loss across the lifespan. This experience is particularly useful during the time of Covid-19, where losses for individuals across the lifespan are enormous. She creates a supportive environment where clients safely process their often complex emotions while working toward acceptance and healing.
