Welcome! I'm Alisha Do you find yourself attempting to dismiss negative thoughts or memories? Possibly avoiding situations, scenarios, and places that remind you of something not so great? Do these memories invoke some kind of negative belief about yourself that you know is not true? Do you desire to decrease the intensity of these memories, thoughts or experiences so they are no longer as intrusive and demanding of your attention? I empower those who are ready to address some of the things from the past or the present that may be presenting a mental and emotional weight on functioning, relationships, and overall well-being.

Life is something, isn’t it? Moments of joy, accomplishment, and meaning can feel fleeting, and many of us find we spend much of our time wondering if we’re the only ones struggling to picture what contentment even looks like. Actually maintaining it in our daily lives can seem impossible. We look around at our families, our careers, our friendships, our relationships with our children, and we see areas where there is room for growth and change. The difference between noticing what we want to improve and having the strength, support, and courage to actually do it though can feel vast. And lonely. Sometimes just knowing you have someone to talk to who will listen, with warmth and kindness and without judgment, can make all the difference. Let's work together to build your capacity for growth. Let's build skills, confidence, and self-compassion. The reality of life is that moments of deep joy may be fleeting, but so are times of pain and the quiet "in-between" is where most of the meaning lies. We can work together to understand that meaning in your life and to learn to make the most of it.
