Meet alyssa
My passion lies with those who have experienced grief and trauma. I seek to help my clients feel seen and supported as we untangle the messiness of grief and the lasting effects of traumatic events. We work together to understand and process the difficult emotions and experiences and develop new ways of thinking and healthier coping skills.
I also enjoy working with clients to explore their childhood memories and decode early recollections that linger with them today. This work centers around getting into the whys. We work together to uncover the events and moments that shaped who you are today. Together, we work to build new understandings that align with the life you desire.
Another area I pour focus into with my clients is the perinatal phase of life. Whether it’s preconception, pregnancy, or postpartum, I am here to help you navigate this phase. This season demands change and vulnerability. Emotions are high, sleep is low. We will work together to navigate this time of change in identity, lifestyle, and relationships, helping you develop self-compassion and build strategies that work for you in this new season.
When it comes down to it, my practice holds the belief that we all deserve a space to feel seen, heard, and understood without judgement. I provide a warm, empathetic space where you can feel vulnerable and free to be your authentic self. We work in collaboration to make you feel safe and to regain trust and compassion in yourself.
