Introduction

My name is Alyssa, and I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who has worked in the mental health field since 2013. When we work together, I prioritize building an accepting, genuine, and supportive relationship with you as the foundation for all therapeutic work we do together. Creating a compassionate, non-judgmental environment where you feel free to share your experiences without fear of judgment is the beginning of growth and change. My approach is integrative and evidence-based, drawing from EMDR, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based practices, and Internal Family Systems (IFS). This allows me to tailor therapy to your unique experiences and goals—whether that’s processing trauma, improving coping skills, or understanding yourself.
