Who Alyssa Works Best With

Children

Alyssa works with children who have experienced trauma, loss, emotional overwhelm, or disruptions in safety and connection. Her play therapy and trauma-informed approach will help your child learn to express what may be difficult to put into words and begin to heal in the context of a safe therapeutic relationship.

Alyssa may be a good fit for your child if they are experiencing:

  • effects of traumatic experiences
  • grief or loss
  • behavioral or emotional dysregulation
  • anxiety or fear
  • attachment-related concerns
  • difficulty feeling safe, connected, or understood

Working with Alyssa can help your child build regulation skills, restore a sense of safety, and strengthen their connection with you!

Teens

  • coping with traumatic or distressing events
  • struggling with anxiety or emotional overwhelm
  • dealing with relationship ruptures
  • grieving a significant loss
  • feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsafe in their world
  • needing a supportive space to process difficult experiences

Therapy for your teen will help them build insight, strengthen regulation, and move toward healing with support that is tailored to their developmental stage.

Adults

Alyssa works with adults who want to process trauma, grief, attachment wounds, and difficult life experiences that continue to affect daily life, relationships, or sense of self.

Alyssa also supports parents and caregivers who want to better understand their child’s behavior, strengthen connection, and respond in ways that support healing. Parent coaching can be especially helpful when your child has experienced trauma, dysregulation, or relational stress.

She may be a good fit for your parenting goals if you are:

  • trying to understand trauma-driven behaviors

  • burnout
  • compassion fatigue
  • secondary trauma
  • chronic stress

Therapy with Alyssa offers you a confidential space to process the impact of high-stress work, build practical tools for regulation and recovery, and create more room for steadiness, clarity, and balance.
