Hi there, I'm Alisha!

Something brought you here, and that matters. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 9 years of experience rooted in child welfare and behavioral health. I use CBT, DBT, and strengths-based tools — but what drives my work is genuine connection. I specialize in anxiety, trauma, body image, and family conflict.

My focus

Many of my clients come in managing anxiety that has taken over their daily life, or navigating relationship and identity questions that feel too difficult to say out loud. Clients experiencing anxiety, ADHD, stress, relationship concerns, life transitions, and self-esteem challenges.

My approach

I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Family Systems, Motivational Interviewing, — but I don't rigidly apply a single method. Instead, I pull from what actually fits where you are right now. Sessions with me tend to feel like a real conversation.
