Meet Alissa

Hi, I’m Alissa, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Perinatal Mental Health Specialist (PMH-C) with 12 years of experience. I work with college-aged students, young adults, and individuals in the perinatal period. Many clients come to therapy feeling stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, or unsure of their next step. My style is warm, collaborative, and down-to-earth. Together we explore emotions, identify needs and barriers, and create practical paths forward. My goal is for you to feel heard, supported, and more connected to yourself and the life you want to build.

My approach is warm, attuned, non-judgmental, and understanding so each client can feel safe in exploring what brings them to therapy.
