Alyssa enjoys working with adolescents and young adults navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, and chronic pain or illness. Her approach is person-centered and relational, incorporating mindfulness, movement, creative expression, and Gestalt-informed techniques to help clients build self-awareness, resilience, and meaningful growth in a supportive environment.
Chronic Illness
Chronic illness counseling provides a supportive space for clients to process the emotional, physical, and relational impact of living with ongoing health challenges. Chronic illness can affect daily routines, identity, relationships, independence, and overall well-being, often bringing feelings of grief, frustration, anxiety, or isolation.
Therapy can help clients navigate the stress of medical uncertainty, adjust to life changes, and build healthy coping strategies. With compassion and understanding, counseling supports clients in finding resilience, self-compassion, and hope while learning to care for both their body and emotional needs.
