I am strong in treating people with depression, OCD and anxiety issues. That being said, my true expertise is in the area of alcohol and addiction therapies. I am a recovering alcoholic and love educating folks on the principles of addiction and recovery. I've even had the fascinating experience of leading drug and alcohol group therapy for inmates at San Quentin State Prison. I believe there is no distinction between the many forms of addiction: alcohol, drugs, sex, internet porn, eating, working, video games, social media or gambling"¦all of these are triggered by the same things: fear, stress, and anxiety. And ALL are treatable.

As a clinician starting out during a pandemic, Alyssa was offered the opportunity to work in treatment centers serving as a clinician to individuals in a time of crisis. She has seen, firsthand, how bad it can get. Alyssa hopes to work with people who don’t want it to get “that bad.” She would love to work and support individuals with more preventative measures and education to warning signs, coping skills, and psychoeducation to help individuals understand their diagnoses. People struggle every day, but that does not mean we have to let those struggle dictate the way we experience life.

My passion for partnering with others to experience the highest quality of life possible is what motivates my work as a clinician. In doing so, my hope is to support clients on breaking away from unhealthy patterns of thinking and behavior, while replacing them with uplifting ones that lead to more functional, satisfying existences. Exploring the causes of dysfunctional conduct is a major part of the healing process, which includes working through trauma, to rightfully expose it, and move from victim to survivor. I mostly utilize Rogerian, biblical, cognitive/dialectical behavioral, and motivational interviewing treatments.
