Hi, I’m Alyssa, a licensed clinical social worker who works with teens and adults navigating anxiety, trauma, ADHD, and life transitions. I have over three years of experience helping clients better understand themselves, manage overwhelming emotions, and build healthier relationships with themselves and others.

Hi, I’m Alyssa, a licensed clinical social worker who works with teens and adults navigating anxiety, trauma, ADHD, and life transitions.

I believe therapy should feel both supportive and practical, so I focus on helping clients gain insight while also learning tools they can use in their everyday lives. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to each individual, because no two people or journeys are the same.

First session

In our first session, we will focus on getting to know you and understanding what brings you to therapy. I’ll ask about your current concerns, your background, and what you hope to gain from our work together. We will move at a pace that feels comfortable for you, and there is no pressure to share anything you are not ready to discuss. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard and understood, while also beginning to identify practical steps and goals that will help you start feeling relief and clarity right away.

Strengths

One of my greatest strengths as a therapist is my ability to create a warm, calm, and non-judgmental space where clients feel comfortable being themselves. I am especially skilled at helping people who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally stuck learn how to better understand their thoughts and feelings and develop tools to cope more effectively. I blend evidence-based approaches with genuine connection, allowing clients to feel supported while also making meaningful, lasting changes in their lives.

Ideal clients

I work best with teens and adults who feel overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally sensitive, or stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand. Many of my clients struggle with racing thoughts, self-doubt, relationship stress, trauma, or ADHD-related challenges such as difficulty focusing, regulating emotions, or feeling misunderstood. My ideal clients are those who want to feel more grounded, confident, and in control of their lives and are open to exploring their thoughts, emotions, and experiences in a supportive, non-judgmental space.

Treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I use CBT to help clients understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together we identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with more balanced, realistic thoughts while building practical coping skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and emotional overwhelm in everyday life.

Cognitive Processing (CPT)

I use Cognitive Processing Therapy to help clients process and reframe thoughts related to trauma and stressful life experiences. This approach helps reduce feelings of guilt, fear, and self-blame while supporting healthier beliefs and emotional healing.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

I use mindfulness-based techniques to help clients become more aware of their thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations in the present moment. These skills support emotional regulation, reduce anxiety, and help clients feel more grounded and calm.

Strength-Based

I use a strengths-based approach to help clients recognize their resilience, personal strengths, and inner resources. By focusing on what is already working, we build confidence, motivation, and lasting change.

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

I use Emotionally Focused Therapy to help clients better understand and express their emotions while improving connection with themselves and others. This approach is especially helpful for anxiety, relationship concerns, and healing from past emotional experiences.

Alyssa has created such a warm and comfortable space where I feel like I can be open about what’s going on in my life. She’s helped me a lot with my anxiety by giving me practical ways to handle it and helping me plan for future stressors. I really appreciate how easy she is to talk to, especially because therapy can be intimidating. I never feel judged, and it genuinely feels like she cares about me and how I’m doing, which makes a huge difference.
