Allison is a board certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Johns Hopkins University and a Master’s of Science in Nursing from Post University. She has additional training in Integrative Functional Psychiatry. Over the last 20 years, she has worked in a variety of medical settings, with extensive experience in trauma, education, and women’s and LGBTQ+ health.

Allison believes in working with clients as a partner and advocate in their journey. Healing unfolds when clients are given the space to be heard, validated, and supported, not just as a collection of symptoms, but as a whole person with unique histories, values, and needs. Drawing from a trauma-informed and personalized approach, Allison integrates evidence-based practices with empathy and collaboration, empowering clients to reclaim their lives. Allison welcomes clients from all cultures and communities with understanding and compassion.

Allison has lived in Boulder for 20 years, raising two teenagers and is part of a large, diverse family. She enjoys sailing, hiking and is a history and sci-fi buff.
