Allyn believes in the power of the therapeutic relationship—without a sense of safety between client and therapist, there is no foundation from which to grow. With a practice rooted in presence, empathy and humor, Allyn stands side-by-side with her clients, helping to guide them inward toward their own resources and tools for growth and healing.

Allyn works with a variety of theories, catering to the needs of each individual client. These theories include but are not limited to: existentialism, Rogerian, IFS/Parts Work, DBT, narrative, Jungian, gestalt, somatic, attachment-based, culturally sensitive, psychodynamic, relational, strengths-based & trauma focused. Her practice is grounded in a social justice framework, utilizing awareness of the systems that inform our identities and, therefore, our inner worlds. She is queer identified and allied.
