Many of us feel disconnected, carry burdens from past traumas, and struggle to balance caring for ourselves with having a fulfilling life. My approach will help you respond to intense emotions and memories with more curiosity and speak to the parts of you that feel self-critical, alienated, and alone with a more compassionate and nurturing voice. We will explore your unmet needs and help you express yourself with more vulnerability, confidence, and authenticity. My focus is offering Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy to the LGBT/queer community and ADHD/neurodivergent folks. My special interests are spirituality, social anxiety, non-monogamy, co-dependence, intergenerational trauma, college life, and plant medicine/psychedelic integration. I am Level 2 trained in IFS therapy through the IFS Institute, and can also be found in their practitioner directory. I also offer ADHD evaluations - you can find an inquiry form on my website.

Hi, I’m Alyssa! I help women heal their anxiety & panic attacks, overcome negative self-talk & increase their confidence, so they can live happier & more fulfilled lives. Does any of this sound like you? You're having anxiety or panic attacks & don't know why. No matter how hard you try, you can't stop your racing or negative thoughts. Things you used to love (traveling, meeting new people) are now scary. You want to be more assertive & create boundaries but don't know how. You're always worrying, overthinking & doubting yourself. You're exhausted but can't sleep. You compare yourself to others & shame spiral on social media. If any of this sounds familiar, you're in the right place. I'm here to help you heal your anxiety & panic attacks, stop overthinking & doubting yourself, show up more authentically, become more assertive & state your needs, create boundaries & stop people-pleasing, be more self-compassionate, defeat negative self-talk, become more present & confident. It's disheartening to feel like you're not living the life you're meant to & knowing how to get started is overwhelming. I'll help you take small, sustainable steps to get you to where you want to be, while still accepting & celebrating how far you've come. Change is scary, but I'll meet you where you are & together we can move you towards the life you want.

“Healing doesn’t mean the damage never existed. It means the damage no longer controls our lives.” Healing from trauma is a journey; a journey I would be honored to be on with you. My experience is working with children, adolescents and young adults who may have suffered from a trauma in their life, such as physical, sexual or emotional abuse, domestic violence, chronic illnesses, etc. I work with young adults who struggle with depression, anxiety and transitions in their lives. When working with adolescents and young adults it is also important to incorporate the family in the journey of healing. My approach is holistic with a specialization of trauma. I believe in meeting each client where they are every time they walk through my door. I believe in seeing a person as a whole and finding strengths in every situation. I am passionate about helping clients take control of their lives and feeling empowered. For additional information, please contact me via phone or email. I look forward to talking with you soon!

Have you or family members been faced with obstacles that have caused you to lose hope and courage? You may be feeling uninspired and do not believe you have the capability to be optimistic and patient. Perhaps there are internal battles to get through the day without breaking down. When working with a therapist that is "the right fit" in an environment that is "safe and supportive" I believe you can develop the physical and emotional strength to work through your struggles. In an interactive/ collaborative way we will work to make positive changes to improve your life and relationships. ​ My specialities and practice focus include, but are not limited to, eating disorders/ body image issues, self-esteem struggles, infertility issues, postpartum/general depression and anxiety, mothering/parenting struggles, and relationship/family issues. I also provide supervision for students and other professionals earning higher licensing credentials. ​ I favor an empathic and supportive approach which integrates psychodynamic and psychoanalytic techniques to help clients reduce symptoms and explore/understand the underlying issues of their current life struggles. Short or long-term therapy via an office setting, phone sessions, video chat sessions and/or at-home counseling is available.
