Hi! I'm Allen. My clinical practice is grounded in care that is person-centered, trauma-informed, queer-affirming, sex-positive, and socially just. My clinical approach emphasizes harm reduction, mindfulness, and an understanding of the impact of your social environment on your daily life. I work with clients from diverse backgrounds who are seeking support to deal with a wide array of concerns.
I have more than a decade of experience teaching and training social workers and other mental health providers, including training in trauma-informed, strengths-building, and queer-affirming clinical practices with youth and families. I have provided numerous trainings and classes in motivational interviewing, person-centered care, gender-affirming care, and trauma-informed practices. My clinical practice focuses on helping people develop the skills to be their best selves, no matter where they are in their lives.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
