About
Alyssa
Hi, I'm Alyssa! I'm motivated by a genuine desire to be a consistent, stable presence for those who need it most. I approach clinical work with warmth and curiosity, meeting each client without assumption and taking time to understand their unique story and experiences. My style is collaborative and integrative, helping clients explore patterns in their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and move toward a life that feels more aligned.
I identify as a proud Latina, dedicated daughter, friend, and partner, and self-proclaimed professional shopper. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with loved ones, exploring new coffee shops, reading, and catching up on my favorite shows. I also find joy in simple comforts — a nice walk, a sushi date, or a perfect chocolate chip cookie.
