About My Clients
The “nothing is ever good enough” feeling won’t go away by doing more. It's something I notice all the time working with millennials. We tend to approach our challenges by doing more rather than slowing down and noticing what’s going on inside of ourselves. Whether you're single or partnered, starting a family or wondering about life without kids, frustrated about where you are now, or just hung up on what the heck comes next, I want you to know – I hear you.
My Background and Approach
Hey, I'm Allison and I’m a therapist in the Seattle area (LICSW, PMH-C) that works with millennial women, mothers, and couples who don't always have their sh*t together. Spoiler: that’s everyone. As a millennial myself, the basis of my work is not just clinical – it’s the shared perspective and lived experiences that have completely shaped our generation. If you're a millennial looking for support as you navigate perinatal mental health, women's issues, or body image, that's where I can help. The most important relationship you’ll ever have is the one you have with yourself. Person-centered therapy acknowledges that you are the expert in you. Period. With this approach, you’ll get a space for safe processing and non-judgmental listening. Too many people suffer alone when they really don’t have to. I believe everyone – regardless of identity or expression – has the capacity to heal and change. Access to non-judgmental, affirming care can be the thing that helps you get there.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My own personal and professional experiences have led me to become a therapist. Building a safe and inclusive therapy space means finding my blind spots, unlearning and challenging my oppressor parts, and committing to embodiment of social justice in all aspects of life. As a woman, I know the challenges women face in this modern world. It is easy to feel like you are never enough, and that you can't live up to the expectations society has set for you. My weekends are spent outside, most often on a trail or at a campsite enjoying the scenery. This practice grounds me and reminds me that I live on stolen lands from the Coast Salish, Duwamish, and Stillaguamish. Food is a passion of mine and I love to taste and savor all of the foods that the Pacific Northwest has to offer. My people and puppers (Tater Tot and Dewey) help make my world go round. It is my honor to share in the struggles and successes of the human experience with you.
