Meet Alyssa

As a licensed marriage and family therapist and licensed professional clinical counselor, I have experience helping individuals and families navigate life's challenges. My therapeutic approach is comprehensive and holistic, combining various modalities and viewpoints to provide customized solutions for each of my clients. I place a high priority on empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard, and I strive to foster a collaborative, client-centered therapeutic environment. While I primarily use Solution-Focused techniques, I also incorporate trauma-focused frameworks as necessary. Ultimately, my goal is to help clients achieve their unique therapeutic objectives in a supportive, personalized, and effective manner.
