I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who uses compassion and honesty to connect with my clients. Not one person is the same; everyone has their own unique set of strengths and needs. With that in mind, I build trusting relationships rooted in respect for a person’s individuality and desire for positive change. I believe in the interconnection between the mind, body, and spirit, so I encourage clients to establish healthy habits and routines while embracing support from others.

I have been a therapist for over 27 years and my passion to help people has not changed. Therapy is about not just listening to your client, but hearing what that person is saying, not just their actual words but what thoughts and feelings are behind the words. To my client, a therapy session feels like a conversation with someone who cares deeply about them and is listening, hearing and responding. But it is much more than a friendly conversation, as I offer my knowledge, expertise and acquired skills to help you solve your problems.

Hi! I’m Allison! I am here to help individuals who are tired of feeling “stuck.” Who may want to learn how to cope with life’s challenges in a more adaptive way. Who feel disconnected from their bodies and struggle to connect with others in the way they would like. Or who just want someone to talk to in a safe, non-judgmental environment. It gets exhausting trying to navigate daily stressors when you’re already feeling overwhelmed by your internal self talk.

Are you seeking to know yourself and others in a more genuine and authentic way? I believe that meaningful relationships with our self, our partner(s), family, friends, and community are essential to our overall sense of wellness, life satisfaction and emotional security. Using a systemic, attachment-based framework, I seek to create an environment that is affirming, strengths-based and collaborative, while also challenging my clients to identify narratives that no longer serve them, behaviors that move them further from their goals, and dynamics they feel stuck in.

I thrive when working with young women. Whether they’re struggling with school-related stress or struggling to process a breakup, I can quickly build rapport with folks in this demographic. My treatment plans include goals dedicated to helping people identify their triggers for emotional dysregulation. I believe in the importance of somatic and cognitive level wellness strategies and work to have my clients learn and implement both sets of skills. I have enjoyed working with a variety of diagnoses, including adjustment disorder, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and PTSD.

Culturally Sensitive Therapists

How does culturally sensitive therapy work?

A culturally sensitive therapist will tailor their approach to therapy based on the individual client’s background. This may include changing their style of interaction (asking open-ended questions vs. being the “expert” voice), their affect (seeming warm or “neutral”), how much personal information they disclose about themselves, and more. It’s also important for a culturally sensitive therapist to acknowledge larger societal forces that may impact their client due to the client’s background.

How effective is culturally sensitive therapy?

Some professionals have expressed concern about highlighting cultural differences in therapy, suggesting that it might promote stereotypes and harm the therapeutic bond; however, many experts agree that cultural sensitivity tends to strengthen the connection between therapist and client and help clients feel heard and understood. A culturally sensitive approach to therapy can be especially helpful for those not in the cultural majority, especially when combined with proven therapies like Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).

What are the limitations of a culturally sensitive approach to therapy?

While being culturally sensitive is generally a valuable skill to have, a therapist cannot treat every client from a similar background the same way. Each client is an individual with their own values, personal preferences, and life experiences that will need to be explored during therapy. In addition, it’s rare for a therapist and client to have identical backgrounds, so there may be some cross-cultural differences to navigate during therapy, but a culturally sensitive therapist can do so with empathy and respect.

Can culturally sensitive therapy be done online?

Yes, online therapy using a culturally sensitive approach can be beneficial. Therapy can sometimes be difficult to access for clients from diverse backgrounds and socioeconomic standing. The array of mental health support available through the internet makes it possible for clients to find a good therapist match regardless of where they live.
