I have approximately 13 years' experience assisting people in the mental health field. I specialize in depression, anxiety, grief, trauma and attachment and bonding. I am trained in multiple modalities of therapy, and I individualize my treatment to what your needs are. Life can be difficult to navigate through and no one should feel like they have to do it alone. I welcome ALL people to my virtual therapy office and have experience working with the queer community, different cultures, races, and ethnicities. I have discovered that building a supportive and enthusiastic relationship through therapy, can create a safe place to explore life struggles, understand difficult issues, develop new skills, enrich relationships, and work through situations to lead a more successful life. I believe that within a safe, trust-filled therapeutic relationship, people can decide upon and implement the changes necessary to improve their lives. My goal is for you to feel understood, validated, and free of judgement. If you are ready for a wonderful change in your life and would like some support, let's work together.

Very down to earth, very much just another human being with human being struggles and victories. Her questions and suggestions are gentle and to the point, but there is room for casual chat too, keeping it loosely related to the topic. After three sessions, I can conclude that Alissa is a joy to have as a counsellor.

Alissa was such a great help during our sessions. She actively listened to my situation and always offered support while reminding me how valid and normal it was. She gave me great tools to deal with my stress and anxiety both during the sessions and as work between appointments.

Extremely attentive and kind! I just began working with Alissa and she is by far the best fit for someone who needs a compassionate, but not overly intense or threatening therapist. Alissa feels like someone you can open up to without fear of pity or judgement.
