About Allison
She uses Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, narrative techniques, solution-focused ideas, and client-centered work. Sessions tend to emphasize what matters to the client and build step-by-step strategies for coping. Allison encourages people to name goals and test small changes between visits.
Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Humanities from Michigan State University and a Master of Science in Clinical Psychology with a focus on Marriage and Family Therapy from Chapman University. Over the years she has worked in roles spanning counseling, case management, supervision, and humanitarian settings. This mix informs a practical, down-to-earth style.
In sessions, Allison listens first and then collaborates on a plan. She blends structured methods like EMDR with conversational work so clients can make sense of past hurts and try new behaviors. Her approach prioritizes the client’s perspective and real-world problem solving.
People who want clear steps, respect for their own pace, and trauma-focused techniques may find her way of working helpful. Prospective clients should review session options and scheduling details before booking.
How trauma-informed and client-centered methods work online
Allison uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people understand and reduce the ongoing impact of past harm. That approach focuses on identifying how traumatic events continue to affect thoughts, feelings, and reactions, and then working through specific patterns that keep problems active.She also integrates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) which uses guided attention and paced processing to help lessen the intensity of traumatic memories. EMDR can be paired with narrative work that helps people tell and reorder their stories in ways that feel more manageable.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Allison will listen to a person’s concerns, discuss options, and tailor methods to fit goals and comfort level. Together they decide whether trauma-focused techniques, EMDR, mindfulness, or narrative strategies are the best fit for each situation.
Practical benefits of online therapy often include fitting sessions into a busy day, keeping appointments when travel is difficult, and choosing a quieter time or place that works for the person. The therapist’s biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm available options before booking. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to work well in remote appointments and help clients make steady progress.
