Marriage and Family therapist
Alli Knapp
MA, Marriage & Family Therapy Associate
Bio
Hi there, I’m Alli (she/her)! I’m a systemic therapist who works with adult individuals and intimate partners in relationships looking to feel more connected - to themselves, to each other, and to what matters most.
I believe that humans are wired for connection. However, in our fast-paced lives, it can be easy to lose touch with ourselves, our close others, and the world around us. My intention is to offer you a chance to slow down, invite new understandings, and reconnect. My approach is compassionate and collaborative, honoring your lived experience, your inner wisdom, and the impact of larger societal systems on your life. As a queer woman, I’m especially passionate about supporting LGBTQIA+ clients and celebrating the richness of each person’s intersectional identities.
I come to this work not just as a therapist, but as someone who has experienced the transformational power of therapy myself. I know how vulnerable this process can be and how healing it can feel to be truly seen. I’m here to support you with warmth, curiosity, and respect. I work with Couples and Individual adults.
I hold a Master of Arts in Marriage, Couple, and Family Therapy, with a specialization in sexuality, from Lewis & Clark College and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of San Diego. My clinical training is rooted in the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Narrative Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and somatic therapy techniques. Together, we will collaborate and draw from these approaches in a way that feels most useful and meaningful for you.
When I’m not in the therapy room, I am likely enjoying live music, playing recreational sports, exploring Oregon’s natural wonders, watching reality TV while snuggling with my cat, or getting deeply invested in a board game!
Specialties
Couples Therapy-Gottman Method
As a systemic therapist, I work with intimate partners to explore patterns of relating with each other, with close others, and with broader systems in the world. Together, we can envision new ways of relating and communicating that strengthen connection. The Gottman Method, an evidence-based approach with over 5 decades of research, is foundational to my work with relationships. I will also integrate EFT, mindfulness, and other approaches that feel most supportive to you in our work together.
LGBTQIA+
I believe that a key component of wellness is living authentically. As a queer woman, I recognize that the intersectionality of our various identities shapes our life experiences, including our close relationships. Our work together may involve challenging societal norms, supporting you in embodying your values, and celebrating your unique identity expression.
Emotionally Focused Therapy
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a renowned, evidence-based approach to individual and couples therapy. EFT is rooted in the exploration of attachment relationships across the lifespan and centers the human desire for trusting, safe relationships. Through this lens, we can imagine new ways of connecting in relationships with self and others that enhance understanding and closeness.
