Great to meet you!

I'm Alyssa, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker dedicated to helping people in Minnesota and Wisconsin. I specialize in working with adults and adolescents to navigate challenges like trauma, anxiety, depression, and ADHD. My goal is to make therapy feel grounded and achievable, providing you with practical strategies that truly work for your life.

My approach to therapy

I believe therapy should be personal. That's why I use a flexible, client-centered approach, pulling from proven techniques like CBT, ACT, and Solution-Focused Therapy. This allows us to focus on what matters most to you, whether that’s reducing anxiety, learning new coping skills, or working toward a specific life goal.

What you can expect from me

In our sessions, you can expect a personal and collaborative experience. I am committed to building a strong therapeutic relationship where you feel safe to explore challenges and gain the skills needed to manage stress and achieve meaningful, lasting change.
