Meet Alisha

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 27 years experience. A graduate of Syracuse University, I am trained in strengths-based and generalist practice, meaning I can help you navigate through your rough spots by offering a new perspective, challenging you to reframe your current situation while embracing your existing strengths, courage, and values. We all experience struggles. These struggles creep in multiple times throughout our lives, sometimes when we least expect it. Some are minor, and some stick around and plague us a bit longer. Not one of us is immune to life's difficulties. Whether you have tried therapy before, or this is your maiden voyage, please know there is hope to feel better and to work through the issues you are experiencing. Therapy is meant to be a joint venture - I am ready and willing to walk beside you while you learn, grow and successfully conquer your own unique situation. I look forward to meeting and working with you.

I can help you navigate through your rough spots by offering a new perspective, challenging you to reframe your current situation while embracing your existing strengths, courage, and values.
