I believe that in order to get the most out of therapy, the client needs to work in collaboration with the therapist. Our childhood and current stresses can affect our mental health. I grew up in Russia, and provide therapy in English and Russian. I work with clients ages 5 and up. I work with family systems that are experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, ODD, trauma, and relationship and family issues. I have been trained in sand tray therapy and EMDR.

My passion is working with adolescents, individuals, and couples. I specialize in addressing issues related to anxiety, depression, behavior, PTSD, trauma, relationships, family dynamics, and more. The healing process is unique to everyone. At Resilience, you will find encouragement to take the next steps forward. Learn the tools needed to identify and overcome negative behavior patterns. Develop the courage to challenge unhealthy thoughts and find the confidence to pursue a happier and healthier you. I offer evening and weekend hours to accommodate busy schedules and online appointments.

Family Matters, Reconnecting Lives... Hi! I'd like to help you or your loved ones "reconnect" and lead happier, healthier lives.

After several years teaching high school English, Alyssa began her career as a therapist in private practice in 2000. She treats clients ranging from age 6 to 96 working to solve issues pertaining to ADHD, Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Depression, Grief/Loss, Marriage and Relationship struggles, and OCD. In addition to maintaining her private practice, in 2010 Alyssa became the school counselor at The Independent School, working with students Pre-K-12th grade.

"Anyone can find the dirt in someone's life, be the one who finds the gold." As a therapist, I believe that each person has strengths to overcome even the darkest of battles but, sometimes in the trenches we lose sight of our own abilities. My work is most rewarding when I am able to help clients-whether individuals, families, or couples, use their existing strengths to overcome and create long lasting changes in their lives.

Talking (and listening!) are good ways to solve problems. People have been doing this for centuries, but few do it well. That's where I come in. My listening skills are fine-tuned, and I can help you to find where your blind spots are, if any, as well as help you brainstorm solutions to the struggles you are facing. I come from a Christian perspective, but I do not preach at people. I also come from a perspective that says there is always hope. That hope may not be visible yet, but it is there.

Drawing on my previous experience as a youth pastor, I enjoy working with children, teenagers, and young adults. As a play therapist, I have worked extensively with children who are struggling with ADHD and trauma. I also enjoy working with couples and families, and individuals who struggle with addiction, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues and PTSD. The challenge of parenting sparks my interest and I enjoy using humor, emotion coaching, and intergenerational systemic family theories to illuminate and strengthen the resources that parents already have to offer. I believe that solutions can be found by viewing obstacles as opportunities for repair.

Life involves challenges that can leave us feeling unfulfilled, confused, or even inadequate. Each of us has the qualities and skills to face challenges and improve our lives. We are capable of and worth more than we give ourselves credit for. There are times when our challenges keep us from recognizing this within ourselves, and therapy proves beneficial. If you feel you are not prepared to handle your challenges, let's work together to identify solutions that will work for you and lead in the direction you would like to move.
