Hello, I am Allyson, and I have 9 years experience in the mental health field. As a first-generation Filipino American, I offer a culturally sensitive space where you can feel seen and heard. I believe healing begins with connection and I am honored to help those ready to move toward greater peace, clarity, and fulfillment.
I specialize in working with adults navigating PTSD/trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction, how to identify healthy relationships, and major life transitions. I am passionate about supporting first-generation individuals and those balancing cultural expectations, family dynamics, and personal identity.
My approach is grounded in compassion and supported by advanced, evidence-based practices. I specialize in trauma-informed care, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), EMDR, and Brainspotting—powerful therapies that gently help you process the root causes of trauma, addiction, anxiety, depression, unhelpful core beliefs, irrational thoughts, and insomnia
In our work together, you’ll find a safe space where your story truly matters. We will explore the experiences that have shaped you and develop tools to manage stress and regulate emotions with greater ease. With persistence and hope, healing is possible. Together, we can move beyond survival mode and toward a life where you can truly thrive.
