Trauma Specialist
Allison is a registered social worker with a Master’s degree. Allison’s passion is working with the mind’s complexities and exploring the best treatment for her clients. Allison uses primarily IFS and EMDR however, she draws on her vast education and experience to complement these modalities where needed.
Allison’s approach is warm and compassionate. She understands that people struggle because something has happened to them. Traditionally, symptoms are regarded as illness but Allison views them as activation which, when we pay attention and gently explore, we can understand the underlying wounds and so begin the process of healing.
For Couples
Allison loves to work with couples using the Intimacy from the Inside Out (IFIO) modality. IFIO helps couples to identify protective strategies or patterns of communication that are getting in the way of them getting what they need.
