Dr. Allard has been a practicing Psychologist in the Bay Area for over 34 years and specializes in trauma-related disorders.
She had been active with her local psychological association in San Mateo County, providing advocacy leadership in California, serving as Governmental Affairs Chair for many years, in addition to being a Political Action Committee member with the California Psychological Association. More recently, she is actively involved in advocating for psychological and public health awareness in response to the effects of lockdown restrictions in Sonoma County, where she now has her practice. She is passionate about empowering others through knowledge about public policy, and the harms that the lockdowns are causing — overdose deaths, suicides, trauma, depression, anxiety and adjustment difficulties in addition to devastating economic repercussions. She is particularly concerned about the younger populations who have been affected by academic and social disruptions in their development. Dr. Allard is very pleased to be become part of the leadership team of the Gorilla Learning Institute, where she can continue to effect positive change in a world environment that appears to be threatening many of our freedoms and quality of life as we knew it prior to 2020.
