Alyssa brings a diverse and dynamic background to her work, shaped by her experiences as a competitive figure skater and coach, her passion for trauma and art therapy, and her extensive work in the field of substance abuse. Her journey on the ice instilled in her a deep appreciation for discipline, perseverance, and mental resilience—qualities she now applies in helping clients navigate personal growth and overcome challenges. As a coach, Alyssa supported athletes in building not only their physical abilities but also their mental strength. Her work in trauma and art therapy allows her to guide emotional healing through creative expression, offering clients a unique and meaningful path toward recovery. In addition, her years of experience working with individuals and families in substance abuse recovery have given her a deep understanding of the intricate connection between trauma, addiction, and healing. Alyssa integrates all of these elements into a holistic therapeutic approach that supports each client's unique journey.
I had a client experience a significant breakthrough through the integration of Brainspotting and art therapy. Through this approach they connected with their inner child which helped them process deep, unresolved trauma. It was beautiful to watch!
Whether we’re diving deep through trauma-informed methods like Brainspotting, exploring creativity through art therapy, or just having honest conversations,I stay adaptable and responsive to what’s coming up for you in the moment.You can expect a space that’s both safe and dynamic — where healing, insight, and even a little humor can all have room to breathe.
Our first session is all about getting to know each other and creating a space where you feel safe, seen, and heard. I know starting therapy can feel a little nerve-wracking, so we’ll take it slow — no pressure to dive deep right away! Together, we’ll start shaping some goals based on what feels important to you.By the end of our first session, my hope is that you’ll feel a sense of connection, curiosity, and maybe even a little relief — knowing you don’t have to figure things out alone!
I’m driven by a deep curiosity about people — how we heal, grow, and make sense of our stories. I’ve always been someone who sees the world through a creative lens, and therapy allows me to bring that into the room in a meaningful way. I love the process of collaborating with clients — working together to explore emotions, unpack experiences, and gently connect the dots between past and present.
