About Allyssa
Allyssa is dedicated to person-centered therapy and will meet you where you are in life. Allyssa sees her clients as whole individuals who deserve to live out loud and without fear or shame. Her goal is to assist you in developing the most authentic communication with yourself, your loved ones, and the world — inside and outside of your relationships.
Allyssa is passionate about the intersection of the mind and the body when it comes to wellness and expression. She incorporates mindfulness tools and somatic awareness techniques into her therapy sessions to foster genuine, long-lasting mental health. Allyssa specializes in working with alternative relationship practices, including non-monogamy and kink, as well as personality/mood disorders, eating disorders, and neurodivergence in therapeutic settings.
Allyssa believes that it is necessary to depend on others for what you need, want, and desire. Her philosophy is that humans are built to depend on each other and that the marks/stories we leave with each other are sacred.
Therapeutic Approach
Allyssa integrates trauma-informed care with a social justice lens, recognizing how systemic oppression impacts mental health. She uses a combination of Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and somatic approaches to help clients heal from trauma while embracing their full identities.
