During her pursuit of higher education, she ran an in-home behavior modification program for children on the autism spectrum offering education and support to parents. In 2009, she started treating eating disorders patients in the acute care setting.

Allison has also worked as a private consultant specializing in the treatment of eating, mood, and anxiety disorders since 2009. Her focus alongside individual therapy is on intervention within the family system using the theories of Structural, Strategic, and Narrative Therapies, as well as the Satir Change Model. She makes flexible use of many therapy models, including cognitive behavior therapy, Logotherapy, and bibliotherapy, as well as grief work, to make connections with multiple facets of the human experience.

Allison takes time to develop a connection in the therapeutic exchange with each patient and family member. She believes the relationship is the foundation for any type of effective healing in therapy. Allison has a special interest in the spiritual component of any form of recovery. She believes spirituality and faith are personal and intimate dimensions to a whole person and that all people would benefit from assembling a belief system for engendering hope within themselves.
