Hey there, my name is Alyssa and I use she/they pronouns. I am a queer, neurodivergent pre-licensed marriage and family therapist. My specialty is with couples, families, and teens/adolescents. I am currently taking new youth, teen, and couples clients! I connect with clients through humor, playfulness, and art-making, which I believe can help work through challenges that life can throw at us. In my opinion, art therapy is not about making profound art but is a tool to help process feelings and discover something new.
I have been working as a sexuality education teacher for over 5 years, teaching all ages from middle school students to older adults. My specialty is supporting people with autism, ADHD, and Down Syndrome. I am passionate about connecting with people of all gender identities, sexual orientations, relationship styles, and abilities.
My goal is to create a safe space for conversations and growth around personal identity, sexuality, healthy relationships, boundaries, communication, and incorporate expressive arts into sessions as part of your therapeutic process.

Hello fellow queers and neurodivergent folks, I would love to show up and support you in the ways I wish I would have seen myself represented in professional spaces. An area of focus for me is working with families with neurodivergent adults living at home or queer youth. In terms of couples, I love working with people who are outside of the heteronormative lifestyle.

I use person-centered approaches because this session is about what you want and need, a narrative approach helps you to find your own meaning and role in your story, and feminist and multicultural theories acknowledge and identify societal structures that create real-world barriers. Plus, art therapy and play therapy are great for people of all ages to get us out of our heads.
