About Allison
Life’s hard enough without the weight of identity, societal expectations, and personal traumas weighing you down. In a world that constantly demands more from you, sometimes just being yourself can feel like an uphill battle. If you’re willing to show up, challenge yourself, and forgive yourself, then I would be honored to work with you to make sense of it all.
My goal is to create an environment for my clients that fosters growth, while always meeting you right where you are.. I merge my understanding of diverse backgrounds — especially among the BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and Chinese-speaking communities — to provide a space where nothing is off the table. Topics of generational trauma, race, and family complexities? Together, let's delve into them head-on.
With a toolbox encompassing IFS, DBT, CBT, and trauma-informed therapies, I meet you where you are, honoring your personal narratives and the societal factors that mold you. My experiences, rooted in advocating for foster youth and working with survivors of trauma, give me a unique lens to see beyond just the surface.
Therapy is the relationship that grows with you. So, if you're ready to embark on a transformative journey that recognizes you as a complete individual — political, personal, and all — I'm here, ready to listen, challenge, and grow alongside you.
