I bring over 38 years of experience in the mental health field, having worked in hospitals, residential care facilities, schools, community clinics, as well as in private practice settings. I am bilingual and bicultural, and throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds in improving their mental health and reaching their personal goals. My areas of specialization include: Depression and anxiety Trauma Grief and loss ADHD and executive functioning challenges Substance abuse and recovery Couples and family dynamics Mental health disorders—especially anxiety and depression—are among the most pressing public health challenges of the 21st century. Depression is now the leading cause of disability worldwide, with chronic and toxic stress often at the root of these conditions. The good news is that, when properly diagnosed and treated, depression, anxiety, and many other mental health concerns can be stabilized and even reversed—allowing individuals to return to their routines and rediscover a healthier, more fulfilling life. If you entrust me with your mental health care, I will offer you not only my clinical expertise and decades of experience, but also unconditional support, deep respect, and a commitment to helping you heal, grow, and thrive.

I am a psychotherapist, a meditation teacher, and an amateur naturalist. In my home country, I am licensed to conduct learning disability evaluations. My growing up was first-hand impacted by 3 very different languages and cultures. These cultures informed the style of my relationships and my esthetic preferences. For as long as I can remember, I have been mystified by human memory functioning, first as a scientist, then as a meditator. Having gone a long way from trying to remember everything I deemed worth remembering to a more effortless and drama-free attitude toward memory-creating moments, I am still making sense of what it means to integrate each moment of life as it comes. Approaching this subject experientially and relationally informs who I am as a practitioner and as a person. If topics like cognitive functioning, memory styles and focus make your curiosity antennas hum, this is a place for you. My approach to psychotherapy is highly relational and somewhat didactic. I love to explain everything I see and say at every step of the process. With me, you will never experience a blank screen characteristic of traditional psychoanalytic approaches (from which I draw inspiration in the realm of dream interpretation and theory).

As a parent, I know that one of the most difficult feelings is seeing your child struggling and not knowing how to help. My goal is to help the child while also training up the parents to heal the entire family.

I have had the privilege of working with individuals across the lifespan—from young children to older adults—in a variety of settings, including schools, crisis units, hospitals, and private practice. While I’ve worked with many different populations, I specialize in supporting children and teens as they navigate challenges such as depression, anxiety, school-related stress, social difficulties, and parent-child conflict. My approach is compassionate and collaborative. I aim to create a safe and supportive space where clients and families feel heard and empowered. Together, we work to uncover strengths, build resilience, and take meaningful steps toward healing and emotional well-being.

I have extensive experience helping clients work through anxiety, depression, eating disorders, postpartum concerns, family stress, and relational difficulties. My approach is integrative and tailored to each client’s unique needs, drawing from various therapeutic modalities to create a personalized, goal-oriented path toward healing.

Hi! I’m Allyson and I’m looking forward to hopefully meeting with you. Have you been struggling or just wanting some extra support and a place you can turn to in order to let it all out? Have you found yourself stressed out or feeling overwhelmed easily? Are you struggling to understand your emotions or what is happening in your relationships? I hope I can help you with those issues and so much more! I work with you to understand how you are feeling and thinking about situations and help you practice a focus on your long-term goals to get through life’s ups and downs. I’ve worked with all ages and use a holistic approach to therapy to address the needs of your mind, body, and spirit. I take an integrative approach and work to meet you where you are and personalize treatment to meet your strengths and needs. I bring in evidence-based interventions and techniques as well as creative and artistic elements. I’ve received training in several modalities including DBT, CBT, EMDR and ABFT. I’ve found that using both sides of your brain can strengthen the positive changes and success rates for reaching your goals. Taking steps to heal yourself and that time for yourself can be scary. It can be challenging to work with someone new and/or to give it a try again. You’re making the right choice, and you deserve this opportunity. You deserve a safe space, you deserve to heal, you deserve to reach your fullest potential in life. Let’s work together to help you reach the best version of yourself!
