I have been working and teaching in the mental health field for the past 18 years and have helped many people grow, live a more authentic life and form stronger bonds with the ones they love. I believe a good therapeutic relationship forms the foundation from which emotional growth and change occur. I create a warm, playful and collaborative environment where your thoughts and feelings can be safely experienced and explored. Ultimately, a good experience in therapy should help you to become more yourself and feel more secure in who that is.

I founded the Gay Therapy Center in 2015 because I believe in the healing power of LGBTQ people working with LGBTQ therapists. It's very important in therapy to know for sure that your therapist really "gets" you. At the Gay Therapy Center, we’re LGBTQ therapists for LGBTQ people. Research shows that finding the right match is very important to the success of therapy. We get to know you by phone to learn more about your needs and will personally make the match to one of our LGBTQ therapists. You won’t have to deal with waiting lists, sifting through profiles, or matching by algorithms.

I believe that each and every one of us has the potential to uncover the most thriving version of ourselves- the version that knows we are deeply loveable, worthy, and capable. We uncover and step into that by healing the emotional wounds that cause us to think otherwise about ourselves and the world, by bringing attention to those wounds with empathy and care. Therapy can be a transformative resource on that journey.

As you begin a new year and are thinking about making resolutions to change things in your life that have stopped working for you, one might asks where do I start? How might your life improve if you followed through on the things that you know you want to do differently? What if you adopted healthier habits, learned a new skill or made changes to job or relationships? What are the things that bring you happiness and life satisfaction? Why do you keep on engaging in behaviors that feel safe and familiar but are leading you nowhere? As the new year begins it is time to get unstuck and make positive changes for yourself.

People come to therapy when they feel ready. Often they have gained some insight and are consciously seeking a happier, more balanced life. Many people are aware of a need for healing narcissistic abuse from family, partners or in the work environment. The motivation it takes to make that first phone call is a major step towards positive change. My style is interpersonal, supportive, open and communicative. Most people appreciate guidance, direction and practical feedback. I encourage exploration of unconscious repetitive patterns in relationships and making changes wherever possible.

The people I work with all have one thing in common: they want to feel better. They may come to me with a discrete crisis or a problem with work, family, or relationships. They may simply feel bad and want to talk with someone who can listen and understand. Whatever their concerns, they have the curiosity, courage and desire to feel better in order to achieve their personal goals .

I help purpose-driven people navigate loss—relationships, identity, health, career, the life you imagined for yourself—and find the riches on the other side. My style combines a sharpness of mind, depth of heart, and intuitive wisdom. I’m warm, direct, and real with you. I have a gift for seeing the truth. When a problem or pattern gets named, then it can heal. I trust in your innate healing intelligence and also honor that you want my help and direction in our work.

My style is direct, transparent and positive. All work is supported by solid psychodynamic theory. I am comfortable with challenges. Most of my clients come in to address relationship issues, career and life-stage transitions, depression and anxiety. However, I have considerable experience in areas of disordered eating, addiction, and (Complex)PTSD. I believe that in order for successful transformational work to occur, the therapeutic relationship is central. Therefore, I offer an initial free 20 minute meeting to test for the ineffable 'fit.'

Many of us struggle each day under the weight of old wounds, challenging relationship dynamics, and internalized narratives that keep us from thriving. Your suffering and symptoms might feel like too much to hold alone. We all have the ability to navigate and adapt to adverse life events and circumstances, and therapy can help us cultivate the sense of agency and clarity we need to create inner and outer change. I will provide compassionate presence and a safe environment where you can begin to explore the parts of yourself that are hurting, be seen in all your complexity, and work collaboratively toward healing.

Hi, I'm Alyssa! For the last 12+ years, I have specialized in working with children, adolescents, and young adults ages 5 - 30. I have extensive experience working with clients in a variety of settings who are experiencing anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, family conflict, grief and loss, attachment issues, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, questioning their identity, and having difficulty with life transitions. It is my strong belief that family and parenting support is a core component of working with children and adolescents, as a healthy family system is so impactful and important for them.

My clients are individuals with a strong desire to live their authentic lives. By tracking patterns that no longer serve them, making the unconscious conscious, we make changes that lead to a greater sense of intention and connection. I see a great many clients looking for deeper intimacy in their relationships, a sense of purpose in life, and a yearning to live life out loud. Together we shift from what happened to them to who they choose to become.

I believe that the most important trait that leads to a successful outcome is motivation to learn about oneself. This is the essence of desire- or willingness- to change. I am trained as a psycho-analyst, and try to apply the essential understanding of people that psycho-analytic theory and practice, even when- as is usually the case- the psycho-analtyic method is not indicated, for reasons of time, money, and/or practicality. I work with all kinds of people, but feel that the common denominator is a strong motivation to examine oneself honestly and forthrightly, and to interact emotionally.

Sharing our inner experiences with someone can often feel frightening, which is exactly why I place such an importance on connection and acceptance in the therapeutic process. I aim to create a safe environment that will invite my clients to delve deeper into their personal narrative, as I truly believe we are not built to process emotions alone. As humans, we all have a propensity to grow and become our true selves, unfortunately we aren’t always gifted with the circumstances to allow it. I am passionate about creating a space for not only self-discovery and self-acceptance, but to allow clients to feel seen, heard, and valued.
