I know at times life can seem confusing or even impossible. I believe with every fiber of my being we all have the answers we need. Somehow we get separated from our core strength. You are the expert on you, you alone hold your truth. I am interested in your story and use the description, "enlightened witness" as a way to describe some of what I do in my work as a therapist and healer. I see myself as a fellow traveler, a helper, and a companion who "holds the lantern" to help guide people to see out of dark places and into their truth. Much of the time we are living a narrative others have crafted, often by pain rather than strength. These narratives can feel like prisons but we can heal and take back our story, and choose to see from our core. Embrace compassion, reflection and most of all self-love. Some of my greatest joy comes from helping people move past pain into healthy and loving relationships with themselves and others. I believe suffering is inevitable but not without wisdom and growth. Sometimes seeing our strengths is difficult. Self-love must include your whole being and all parts ~ messy, vulnerable, raw and authentic. You are the velveteen rabbit and you are already worthy of your own love. You are already real. I am licensed in Virginia and Texas. I see clients in these states only at this point. To schedule an appointment please call: +1 (786) 755-1863 or email reception+Alyssa5684@growtherapy.com FYI Please schedule on the hour only. Otherwise, I will have to call you back and reschedule.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In the first session clients can expect that we will be establishing rapport. My style is relational and warm and it is important to me to begin to explore a clients narrative and what their personal therapy needs are.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

As a clinician, some of my strengths lie in assisting others who are discovering personal leadership and honoring natural healing abilities. I know that each person is an expert on themselves and my job is to help people connect with a path that works for them.
