Hi there, I'm Allyssa!

I work with adults navigating substance use, mood disorders, grief, and life transitions. I blend evidence-based practices like CBT with mindfulness, nutrition, and client-centered therapy. Together, we'll identify your goals, challenge old patterns, and empower you to create a life that feels aligned and sustainable.

My focus

I work with adults who are ready to explore their inner world, face challenges head-on, and create meaningful change. You may be navigating substance use, mood disorders, grief, or feeling overwhelmed by life's transitions and stressors. You might feel stuck or disconnected, but you're open to digging deeper and discovering what's really going on.

My approach

I take a holistic and collaborative approach that honors the whole person and meets you exactly where you are. I integrate CBT and client-centered therapy alongside mindfulness practices, nutritional education, and the Wheel of Life to help you explore how different aspects of your life are deeply interconnected.
