About Allyson
She begins by listening to what matters most to each person. Allyson blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy with client-centered conversation. That mix helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, try different behaviors, and use simple mindfulness skills to steady strong emotions.
Her background includes work across many settings and with people from diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds and sexual orientations. She has supported people dealing with trauma, eating concerns, addictions, sleep problems, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and career or parenting strain. Allyson describes change as gradual and rooted in consistent small steps.
Sessions focus on clear goals and skills you can use between meetings. She uses motivational interviewing techniques to help people build commitment when change feels hard. Whether someone wants help with mood, coping during life changes, or improving communication, Allyson centers the client's priorities.
People who choose her often want practical tools, steady support, and a therapist who listens first. She invites prospective clients to think about what they want to change and to start with a short matching questionnaire to find a good fit.
