I highly value exceptional care and in doing so I incorporate compassion, trust, and hope in a therapeutic environment. I genuinely enjoy working with others to hear their life stories and assist those in incorporating self-compassion, clarity, meaning, and purpose in their daily lives. I implement Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to increase the use of learned skills for a healthy version of you.

Very kind, easy to talk to, feels like she understands me, never makes me feel like i'm wrong nor does she talk down to me. Will definitely keep working with her the rest of the year (subscription year not 2022)

Alyssa is a really sweet compassionate considerate being who listens with her heart. She is responsive and quick with inquiry and options to investigate exercises or reflections that may be helpful.

Alyssa gives me the space to fill vulnerable and share what's really on my mind and what's been troubling me. I've thankful for being matched with her.
