More about Allan

  • LCSW-C

With over four decades of clinical experience, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My therapeutic approach centers on compassionate, trauma-informed care, addressing challenges such as social anxiety, post-traumatic stress, mood disorders, and relationship dynamics. I offer a deeply empathetic space for clients experiencing life transitions, including divorce, chronic health conditions, and personal identity exploration.

My expertise spans a wide range of sensitive areas, including caregiver stress, sexuality, attachment issues, and healing from traumatic experiences. I am committed to creating a supportive environment where individuals can explore their emotional well-being, develop resilience, and cultivate meaningful personal growth. Whether you're struggling with panic attacks, shame, or navigating significant life changes, I'm dedicated to walking alongside you with understanding and professional guidance.

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.
