More about Allison

  • 7 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 7 years of experience supporting adults through life transitions, stress, trauma, and questions around identity and purpose.

I often work with high-functioning individuals who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected—despite appearing “fine” on the outside. My approach is warm, direct, and grounded in trauma-informed, relational therapy. Together, we’ll explore patterns, build insight, and help you move toward a life that feels more aligned and authentic.

I believe therapy should be a space where you can be honest, feel understood, and begin creating meaningful, lasting change—at a pace that feels right for you.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
