Hey! I’m Alison (Ali) Pugh, a Clinical Social Worker, USAF veteran and mom of 2. If you’re looking for someone that’s been there and understands the difficulty of balancing a career, family and the pressures of every day life, you found her!

You don’t have to navigate life changes alone here. Many of the adults and older adults supported in this space are balancing a lot. Career demands, family responsibilities, caregiving roles, or major transitions that quietly shift everything. On the outside, things may look steady. Inside, there may be questions, fatigue, or a sense of feeling untethered. Therapy here is a place to pause, breathe, and begin making sense of what comes next.

This work is calm, thoughtful, and collaborative. There is no pressure to perform or to have the right answers. Sessions focus on slowing things down, understanding what is happening emotionally and internally, and finding clarity during times of change. Together, the goal is to build practical tools that help life feel more manageable and aligned again.

The approach is warm, respectful, and grounded in evidence-based care. Sessions may include cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, life-review work, and strengths-based reflection. Attention is given not only to thoughts, but also to values, relationships, and lived experience. The pace is guided by what feels safe and supportive for you.

Most importantly, you get to show up as you are. You do not need to have everything figured out. You do not need to minimize what you are carrying. This is a space where your story matters and where the next chapter can begin with intention, compassion, and support.

If you are looking for therapy that feels steady, thoughtful, and genuinely supportive during a season of transition, you are in the right place
