I have been licensed for 40 years and have a wide range of experience working in a number of Mental Health and Psychotherapy settings. I believe that my one of my strengths is being able to see the world through my client’s eyes as a way of starting the journey towards the client’s goals and improved quality of life and health. Psychotherapy is a collaborative process- the client is an expert about themselves and I bring the expertise of many modalities and interventions that can promote personal growth.

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 practice's focus is children's mental health. My various experiences in child welfare and children’s mental health have led me to realize the unique needs of this population. I have worked with children suffering from depression, anxiety, behavioral issues, trauma responses, family conflict, and situational issues. Although I work with children of all ages, I do specialize in working with very young children, ages 0-5, and have specialized training in various types of play therapy. I work with each of my clients and their families to create a tailored treatment plan that best addresses their needs.

Are you tired, overwhelmed, or feeling constantly on edge? Has the stress and anxiety over the past couple of years left you feeling lost, frustrated, or hopeless? Is your self-esteem struggling, always striving to measure up to a seemingly impossible set of standards? Has your anxiety or depression kept you away from social activities, engaging in things you once loved, or caused relationship struggles with those you love most? Does your life just seem to be one big emotional roller coaster? If you answered yes to any of these questions you are not alone. Life has been difficult to navigate for pretty much everyone.

Regardless of the stage in our lives, in difficult times we all need help. Mental health counseling is a valuable service that many people benefit from by processing their thoughts, feelings and actions and ultimately finding solutions for their challenges. It is not easy to take the first step due to the stigma about seeking mental health services and/or self-doubt. If you or your loved one is needing extra help to navigate life’s challenges, seek help or resources to make life a bit easier.
