Allison is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 15 years of experience working with adolescents and young adults, and nearly a decade specializing in the treatment of eating disorders. Drawing from her extensive clinical background and over eight years of public speaking experience, she is committed to providing engaging, evidence-informed education to students, parents, educators, and campus communities. Her presentations emphasize the importance of early identification, prevention, and intervention of eating disorders, and are designed to leave audiences with both a deeper understanding of the topic and practical strategies for support.

Allison offers tailored presentations for high schools, universities, and organizations—including talks specifically developed for students, parents, educators, and sorority members. Her warm, relatable, and informative style empowers attendees to foster healthier relationships with food, body image, and mental health more broadly.

In addition to her work with eating disorders, Allison is deeply committed to supporting LGBTQIA+ youth and young adults. She facilitates presentations for parents, teachers, clinicians, and allies that explore the challenges LGBTQIA+ individuals often face, while offering actionable guidance for creating inclusive environments, strengthening resilience, and providing informed, affirming support.

Allison also speaks regularly on topics related to college readiness through a mental health lens. Her presentations for students and parents address emotional regulation and stress management, time management strategies, shifting family dynamics during the transition to college, maintaining positive self-talk amidst changing academic demands, and supporting balanced food and movement habits—particularly for those moving on from structured high school sports. Her work helps families and students approach the college years with greater confidence, awareness, and psychological readiness.
