I'm a clinical psychotherapist supporting adult individuals, and couples building their family - with education, increased clarity, and vision. Major themes for my work include reducing distress and increasing well-being in life transitions and relationships, parenting, work/life balance, organizational psychology, and integrating holistic mind/body connection.
My passion is to support and empower adults through education, skills, and discussion. Clients say that they appreciate my global business background and mindfulness journey over three decades.
"Trained to consider the organism-in-the-environment, Allison appreciates the nuances of culture, complexity of family dynamics, organizational psychology, and neuroscience. She offers tools and techniques, communication skills, and support with a positive outlook."
I graduated with a Master of Arts in General Psychology from The New School (2011) focusing on neuroscience and attachment theory; and from New York University with a Masters in Social Work (2020) . I'm experienced in treating adult patients with mood disorders, trauma, adjustment disorders, life and career transitions, and relationship issues throughout the lifespan. I use an integrative approach to therapy, combining psychodynamic insight with cognitive behavioral therapy techniques, DBT, and mindfulness-based tools in order to cultivate response flexibility and self-compassion.
(For information, I am available for weekly talk therapy sessions generally, not texting support.)
