Allison is a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner devoted to creating an inclusive, compassionate space where every patient feels seen, respected, and empowered in their healing journey. She earned her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, a Bachelor’s in Nursing from San Francisco State University, and a Master’s in Nursing with a concentration in Psychiatric Mental Health from California State University, Los Angeles. Allison has worked in both acute inpatient and outpatient medical settings for over 6 years and brings with her a wealth of knowledge and experience from her time serving diverse populations in Honolulu, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.
Allison’s approach to psychiatry is rooted in collaboration, combining evidence-based psychopharmacology, cognitive and dialectical behavioral therapies (CBT and DBT), mindfulness-oriented somatic modalities, and thoughtfully chosen supplements within a patient-led framework. She treats a range of conditions including depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, ADD/ADHD, trauma, and PTSD, and practices from a neurodiverse-affirming perspective. While deeply committed to supporting children, adolescents, LGBTQ+, and BIPOC individuals, Allison welcomes patients from all backgrounds and identities.
Allison was born and raised in the Beach Cities of Los Angeles and enjoys tidepooling, playing piano, and reading to her son.
