Deciding to begin therapy can come with a mix of emotions—uncertainty, anxiety, maybe even fear. As a therapist, I deeply respect the courage it takes to take that first step, and I hope to walk alongside you as you navigate your own journey.
My approach to counseling is eclectic, drawing from various methods to best support your unique needs. I believe our past experiences shape how we show up in the present, and that exploring these layers can lead to powerful insight and growth. I also work from a strengths-based perspective, holding the belief that people—both children and adults—are resilient, and with the right support, can access the tools they need to move forward.
In addition to addressing a range of mental health concerns, I have a particular understanding of issues related to adoption, foster care, and multicultural identity. These are deeply personal and complex areas, often connected to core questions of identity: Who am I? Where do I come from? I’ve completed specialized training through the Center for Adoption Support and Education, and I strive to offer a space where these stories can be explored with care.
You might be wondering whether we’d be a good fit—and that’s an important question:
*You’re hoping to work with a therapist who is warm, supportive, and able to gently challenge you when needed.
*You value an eclectic, individualized approach to counseling that draws from multiple methods to meet your unique needs.
*You appreciate a strengths-based perspective that recognizes resilience in both children and adults.
*You’re looking for someone who values mutual respect and time, and who can both hold space and help you move toward solutions.
*You want a therapist you can laugh with, cry with, and grow with—someone who is present, engaged, and committed to the work alongside you.
If any of this resonates with you, feel free to reach out to discuss availability. I’d be honored to be part of your journey.

This girl is a certified baddie! I was struggling to come to terms with the end of my emotionally abusive relationship and she told me everything I needed to hear and accept in order to put myself first and come out of the relationship strong and confident. She was direct and empathetic, made me feel seen and respected, I had one video call with her and immediately felt like I could see things for what they were instead of letting my emotions get in the way of what had to be done. I am so grateful I was paired with Alissa, and I would definitely recommend her to all my girl friends and anyone who needs a strong woman on their side.

I recently switched therapists due to the election and my issues with my former therapist's lack of empathy with my grief, and I could not be happier. While I am still getting to know Alissa, she will challenge me to be at my best and challenges me to prioritize certain things while passing on other things because they no longer service me. I am excited to grow under Alissa's care.
