Hello, my name is Alyssa! I'm a therapist with extensive experience guiding individuals through challenges like trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. In a warm and supportive space, you'll explore your experiences and develop lasting coping mechanisms. Together, we'll embark on a journey of self-discovery, equipping you with the tools to navigate challenges and embrace a brighter, more fulfilling future.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Our sessions will prioritize creating a safe and supportive space for you. This means feeling comfortable sharing anything that comes up, past experiences, present anxieties, or the ongoing challenges of your life journey. We'll work together to understand your unique situation and what you hope to achieve. I'll ask questions to gain clarity, but ultimately, these sessions are yours to guide. While safety is key, I'll also gently challenge you to consider new perspectives and develop goals that propel you towards a more fulfilling life. This is a collaborative process, and I'm here to support you every step of the way, from that initial exploration to the ongoing journey of growth.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strengths are empathy and adaptability. I meet clients where they are, creating a safe space for open communication. I tailor my approach using various therapies to create a personalized plan for each client's unique journey towards growth and a fulfilling life.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) empowers clients to understand how their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are interconnected. This awareness allows them to identify negative thinking patterns and develop healthier coping mechanisms. As a therapist, I find CBT to be a valuable tool because it equips clients with practical skills they can use to manage challenges and improve their overall well-being.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers a unique approach by balancing acceptance and change. It equips clients with powerful skills to manage intense emotions, improve distress tolerance, and build healthier relationships. In my therapy practice, I value DBT for its effectiveness in helping clients struggling with emotional regulation.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
Person-centered therapy lets clients take the lead. I act as a guide, offering empathy and a safe space for them to explore their experiences. This self-discovery journey fosters a deeper understanding of themselves, their values, and their goals.
