Hi there! My name is Alyssa and I am a mental health therapist licensed in Michigan.

I’m an Oakland University graduate with a bachelor’s degree in psychology and dual

masters degree in clinical mental health and school counseling. I provide psychotherapy to adult clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, ADHD, LGBTQ+ concerns, identity development, relationship conflicts, and lifestyle transitions.

My therapy style is eclectic, as it involves cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and

psycho-dynamic approaches. To help maximize positive therapeutic outcomes, I work to

create a deeply connected two-way relationship with each client. I offer a safe space

filled with warmth, empathy, acceptance, and inclusivity so clients can freely express

themselves during our sessions. I encourage clients to look inward and observe their

feelings, thoughts, and behaviors to increase self-awareness. Additionally, I share my

educational knowledge and resources to help clients learn new skills, insights, and

perspectives. Together we’ll collaboratively set goals and work towards positive change.
