Specialties

Alison has been a physical therapist since 2009, earning her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Northeastern University. She has always been driven by a passion for helping others regain control of their health. Having faced her own medical challenges starting in middle school, she understands the importance of being heard and receiving the right tools for recovery. This personal experience inspired her to become the kind of provider she once needed—one who listens, educates, and empowers patients to take charge of their well-being.

Since 2016, Alison has specialized in pelvic health including bowel, bladder, and sexual dysfunction. She works closely with individuals providing education and practical strategies to help them return to the activities they love with confidence. Through compassionate care and evidence-based treatment, she strives not only to improve physical function but also to equip her patients with the knowledge and self-advocacy skills they need for lifelong wellness.

Outside of work, Alison is a devoted wife and mother. She married her high school sweetheart, and together they have two wonderful children, Emmett and Lyra, and Lulu, their family dog. In 2016, they moved from the East Coast in search of a better pace of life including careers that supported their goals both professionally and as a family. Drawn to the mountains and the beauty of the wilderness, they landed in Livingston.  They love hiking, skiing, and exploring the outdoors, thoroughly embracing the adventure and serenity of their new home!
