My Approach to Helping
Allison works from a relational-cultural, antiracist and social justice lens.
Her therapeutic approach centers around genuine human connection; she values open-mindedness and candor during sessions. Therapy is the client’s space to unpack and process parts of their identity and experiences toward a better understanding of themselves. Her priority is to empower her clients by trusting that they are the experts in their own life and supporting them along the journey of self-discovery and introspection. Allison is especially passionate about working with couples and families. This passion stems from her understanding of the value of secure attachment in relationships and her dedication to creating a collaborative, safe, and equitable environment for couples and families to heal, communicate, and support each other.
Allison has earned a Bachelor’s in Psychology and a Master’s in Social Work, and she is licensed in the state of Washington to provide mental healthcare.
