Hi there, I'm Alyssa!
Whether this is your first foray into the therapy world or you are a seasoned participant, welcome! Being in therapy can feel vulnerable and scary, and even making the call for an appointment can be intimidating. I specialize in anxiety, bereavement, trauma, and psychosis. I believe that everyone is a unique combination of their life experiences.
My focus
I believe therapy should be a safe space to process experiences, emotions, and beliefs. It’s a place to think together about unhelpful thought patterns, while also being a safe space for difficult questions and conversations. My ideal client is someone who is open to getting curious about their life experiences, even if they are uncomfortable.
My approach
My general approach to therapy is to provide support and compassion, to think together about things, and to explore barriers that lie between knowing and doing. I use a variety of evidence-based treatments, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), DBT, Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Metacognitive Reflection and Insight Therapy (MERIT).
