About Me

Adison enjoys supporting clients who experience anxiety, depression, perfectionism, life stress, and a multitude of other challenges that can cause them to feel overwhelmed, discouraged, worthless, or even broken. Adison will work with you and walk alongside you until you reclaim your sense of wholeness and recognize your inherent worth. Adison’s approach is founded on cultivating self-worth and honoring what it means to be “human”. Adison’s style is compassionate and calming, and she brings genuineness, warmth, and comfort to every session. Adison is also trained in brainspotting, a brain-body based approach that can assist in the treatment of trauma, mental health conditions, and the processing of negative emotions and stress.
