I have been working as a sexuality education teacher for over 6 years, teaching all ages from middle school students to older adults.
Hey there, my name is Alyssa and I use she/they pronouns. I am a queer, neurodivergent associate marriage and family therapist. My specialty is with families and teens/adolescents. I am currently taking family clients between teens/parents, single adults, and middle schoolers-young adults. 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.

Are you feeling stuck in a difficult circumstance or a relational conflict? Do you find yourself limited by fear, anxiety, lack of motivation or clarity? Are you discerning whether or not to stay in a current relationship? This can be a painful space. I believe we all have access to deep, still waters within us that can guide and direct us to deeper peace and clarity. Sometimes, we struggle to access that "knowing part" of us. I have 20 years of helping guide men, women, couples, adolescents and families gain skills and find deeper, more peaceful waters in seasons of grief, anxiety, depression, divorce & couple's conflict.

"I am not crazy," is the first thing many hear when thinking of mental health. Mental health is less about being crazy and more about over all well-being. Research shows that expressing ourselves can lead to positive change and better understanding of ourselves. During our journey together, I respect my clients by bringing in a culturally informed and non-judgmental lens, utilizing personal, religious/spiritual, and cultural strengths approach to healing. Together we will work on listening to our bodies and minds, integrating both for restoration and healing.

I support couples navigating the day-to-day realities of partnering, parenting, and identity shifts, as well as the deeper work of broken trust, betrayal, trauma, sexuality, and changing needs.
Many of my clients are capable, caring people who appear to be managing well on the outside but feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or exhausted on the inside. They’re often balancing relationships, parenting, work, caregiving, or chronic health concerns while quietly carrying a lot beneath the surface. I offer space to slow down, feel genuinely understood, and make sense of what your nervous system has been holding. We’ll explore boundaries, communication, self-worth, identity, culture, power, and needs, both spoken and unspoken.

Being a healthy, balanced individual means you are caring for all parts of yourself: mental health, physical health, relational health, emotional health, etc. All the parts of you matter. Who we are as a person is comprised of everything we have seen, felt, believed, & experienced, as well as what we have taken in from our family's experiences and those around us. It is all part of your individual story and your story matters. I enjoy working with individuals who are striving to gain insight into themselves, their communities, and learn ways to manage and decrease presenting symptoms.

Beyond my MS in Marriage and Family Therapy, I am trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy, Narrative Exposure Therapy, Sex Therapy (AACECT), Brainspotting, and I'm a Prepare Enrich Certified Facilitator.
No matter who you are or what you’re currently struggling with, one thing is for sure: Your life (and your happiness) is deeply influenced by your relationships with other people. By things that happened in the past, yes. And also the dynamics and patterns that are playing out today. Do you feel frustrated and powerless about how others are acting or the ways their behavior is impacting you? Or perhaps stuck in your own misery and muck. No matter what the situation, you have far more choices and control than you think.
