I strive to create a safe space for clients (children, teens, adults, families) to express themselves and share their stories.
It's hard when you feel like you don't understand what is wrong with your loved one, and all you want to do is help. Perhaps more often than not, you struggle and/or feel frustrated and can't communicate without you and/or the other person becoming upset, and it feels hopeless trying to figure out how to fix the problem. During such difficult times, know that you're not alone, that your feelings are valid, and there is hope for things to change for the better.

I embrace the opportunity to work with adults from many walks of life.
Welcome! I’m Alessia: a nature lover, an avid yogi, and a passionate Psychotherapist who works primarily with gen z and millennials. In 2024, being in your 20s-30s comes with SO many societal pressures that can make the transition into school, career, relationships, or general adulting, even more overwhelming than it already is! These pressures may be so loud that they drown out your intuition, leading you to feel “stuck”, overwhelmed, anxious, withdrawn, and ultimately living a life that doesn’t feel like it’s yours. If you’re here because you’re ready to create some change from within, I see your courage, and I’m here for you!

Some of my professional experience involves working with teens and adults with Autism, ADHD, OCD, and PMDD.
Lack of motivation and attention and focus in your daily life and relationships can keep you from living a full life. I truly believe that it is possible for everyone to experience joy, and that we do not have to stay stuck in our suffering. I have a compassionate and non-judgmental approach, and actively engage in the therapeutic process while creating a safe space. Therapy with me also involves resolving deeper issues, in order to maintain long lasting change. I can also teach CBT, DBT and mindfulness skills. I fluently speak English, Persian (Farsi), and some Azeri.
