Perseverance, flexibility and adaptability gets us farther than intelligence, skill and luck ever will or ever have. If you are sick and tired of being sick and tired...I can help.

I am known as being both direct and kind.

Changing their minds in a way that allows them to see the world in a new way and from their distinct and unique perspective.

Do you often find yourself going back and forth about making a change in your head? Is part of you wanting to make that change and part of you not feeling sure or quite ready yet? This is all part of the change process, and you are probably further along than you realize! Sometimes a new perspective and new tools can help us "get off the seesaw" and get closer to the life we want to have. I often see clients who are dealing with trauma, substance use, anxiety, or depression. I work to build a space of non-judgment and acceptance so my clients can be seen exactly as they are without fear, so we can find the path forward together.

Whether your goal is staying in your current situation, or if it is finding the courage to make a change, I am here to help you let go of things which hold you back from the life you desire.

Current openings! You matter! I commend you for taking steps to enter the therapeutic process to optimize your health and wellbeing. As a clinician, with 20 years of experience in social service fields; I draw upon those experiences to offer various tools and resources. My mission is to walk with you to uncover your own inner wisdom, strengths, and insights that lead to restoring balance, healing, and self-empowerment. I have had experiences working with those recovering from medical trauma, adverse childhood experiences and managing the weekly stress that builds up.

My counseling and psychotherapy practice has grown from the roots of a 34- year career in public education. My experiences include 24 years in the classroom as a Spanish teacher (K-12), and a decade working as a high school Counselor. I have counseled diverse populations and cultures, and have extensive knowledge and practice in working with students who receive special education services. I have worked with families in crisis due to death, deployment and adverse circumstances. In addition, I have personal insight into the unique demands of military families as the mother of both an active duty soldier and a combat veteran.

I will establish a safe and secure therapeutic environment, free of judgement and pre-conceived notions.

I offer an open and nonjudgmental space for clients to discuss their challenges for the purpose of resolution. I have spent the last 12 years working in the child welfare system resulting in extensive experience working with children, families and the juvenile justice system. I am also experienced in working with various populations, including interracial families, those who identify as LGBTQ+/SOGIE, and multicultural families.

Choosing to seek counseling can be overwhelming and it's often done at a difficult time. I strive provide a warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental space for you to talk, learn about yourself and ultimately heal. Together we will decide what approach will work best for you and set achievable goals. My role is to support you as you figure out what's working, what isn't, and how you can get back on track.

As the parent of a child/teen that struggles with their wounded selves, you have tried everything. The exhaustive interventions that you have tried are going nowhere fast. Throwing in the towel is all that you have left. Your marriage is more daunting than it is invigorating and you keep hitting a wall with connecting to one another. Depression has you stuck in quicksand and the struggle is consuming you. Anxiety has its grip on you and it is controlling your life. You find yourself asking what more can you do? You feel all alone in your struggles and are having more moments of frustration than joy. Asking for help is hard.

I primarily have experience working with individuals of all ages who struggle with eating disorders and body dysmorphia (and other co-occurring struggles). I am a non-diet practitioner with a HAES approach. I work closely with health professionals as well (dietitians and NPs) to help clients achieve health holistically. I also thoroughly enjoy working with individuals that struggle with anxiety disorders, OCD, and interpersonal struggles. It is my hope that my office is truly a refuge for all who enter and that we can work together as a team to achieve balance in life and pursue holistic health.

Mental health problems don't define who you are, they are something you experience. You walk in the rain and you feel the rain, but, more importantly, you are not the rain. (-Matt Haig) I believe in an individual’s strength and ability to learn and grow from life’s challenges. As a compassionate advocate of mental health and LGBTQ+ ally, I create a safe space free of judgment for my clients to express and be their true authentic selves.

If you are like many of us, you may not feel sure of who you are or what you want in life. You may be in an unhealthy relationship, struggling with parenting, weathering the stress of college, or feeling hopeless in depression or addiction. As women, and even more so as mothers, it can feel impossible to measure up. Together, we’ll uncover who you truly are under social and familial expectations, heal past wounds, and create a lifestyle that keeps you squarely in your worth.

The first thing that anyone says when describing me is, “Alyssa loves her work!”. I’m not only good at providing my clients with a listening ear in times of need and skills to better help them navigate these challenges, but I also really enjoy doing it. I believe that everyone deserves to be heard, to feel that their struggles and challenges are valid and to know that they are not alone.  During my time working in the mental health field, I’ve gained valuable skills in communication, understanding, and patience that I bring to every session.
