Hello, I'm Alyssa :)
Are you finding yourself feeling stuck, stressed, overwhelmed, or just not your true self lately? I would love to help support you, and create a safe, judgement free space for us to work together to identify and reach your goals.
I can assure you that I will meet you each session with respect, support, empathy, a little bit of humor, and maybe a guest appearance of one of my oversized lap dogs. I will meet you where you're at, and we will work as a team.
Something uncomfortable brought you here. You may have tried to move forward and found that something still lingers. You understand what’s going on, but it hasn’t shifted in a meaningful way. My clients come ready to do real work. I meet each person as a whole person, not as a diagnosis or as a presenting problem. I work primarily with adults and young adults, using EMDR alongside CBT and solution-focused and person-centered approaches that support real change. Our focus is on what hasn’t moved and why, so you’re not just managing symptoms but creating genuine, lasting movement forward. If you have done the talking and still do not feel free, I would love to connect.
Thank you for taking the opportunity to learn more about me! I welcome you! I understand it's not easy trying to find that perfect clinical match to share your most personal business, thoughts and emotions. Most impotantly, I welcome diversity and uniqueness, in a judgement free zone!
