Further, during her education she took various courses on gender studies, human sexuality and development, research methods, etc. Allie is trained in working with kink communities, gender and sexually diverse individuals, the intersection of sexuality and shame, non-monogamous relationship structures, couples distress, and childhood trauma. I approach Sex Therapy as a form of psychotherapy that provides mental health services through a systemic and contextual lens for individuals, couples, or groups of people who are suffering from psychological, medical, or social issues surrounding sexuality. These include but are not limited to, the diagnosis and treatment of these conditions through a therapeutic and psychoeducational approach.

Allie works under the supervision of a licensed supervisor and the direction of Lana Banegas, LMFT.
