Alyssa holds master's degrees in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Psychology, with additional academic preparation in addiction counseling. Her professional experience includes mobile crisis response, crisis intervention, behavioral health assessments, and community-based mental health services. Through these experiences, she has developed an understanding of the emotional and psychological challenges individuals may face during difficult periods of their lives.

Alyssa has a particular interest in working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma-related concerns, grief and loss, emotional regulation difficulties, and major life transitions. She welcomes opportunities to work with children, adolescents, and adults from diverse backgrounds.

Her therapeutic approach is collaborative, person-centered, strengths-based, and trauma-informed.

She strives to create a supportive therapeutic environment where clients feel comfortable exploring their experiences, building self-awareness, and developing the confidence to make positive changes in their lives.
