Therapy for Women Navigating Change, Stress,
and Identity Shifts

There are chapters in life that feel overwhelming – when everything is changing, and you’re not sure how to keep up. Becoming a parent. Moving to a new place. Starting over again. Feeling like you’ve lost parts of yourself along the way.

If you’re feeling anxious, burned out, or unsure what’s next for you, therapy can be a space to breathe, reflect, and find your way forward.

You don’t have to figure it out alone.

Hi, I’m Alyssa

I specialize in working with women navigating motherhood, military life, anxiety, and big life transitions find space to reconnect with themselves – and feel more grounded in who they are becoming.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, a mom of two, and a military spouse. I’ve been supporting women and families for over five years, and I’ve walked through many of the same challenges my clients face.

Motherhood changed me. Military life challenged me. These personal experiences deepened my passion for helping women who are juggling a lot – emotionally, mentally, and logistically – and still showing up for everyone else.

Clients often tell me they feel safe, seen, and at ease in our work together. You don’t need to have the right words. You just need a place to start.

“Vulnerability sounds like truth and feels like courage. Truth and courage aren’t always comfortable, but they’re never weakness.” — Brené Brown

How I Help

In sessions, I offer a calm, down-to-earth space to talk through what’s going on and explore what you need most. We’ll work together to build insight and real-life tools you can actually use. My approach includes:

● Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – to shift unhelpful thoughts
● Solution Focused Therapy – to move toward small, realistic goals
● Motivational Interviewing – to support change when you’re feeling stuck
● Narrative Therapy – to explore your story and what it means to you

I’m a trauma-informed therapist with additional training in Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), and I hold a Military Counseling certification. I also have specialized training in Perinatal Mental Health. I understand how stress, past experiences, and transitions can affect your body, your emotions, and your sense of identity.

What We Can Work On Together

●Postpartum and perinatal mental health
●Anxiety, burnout, or emotional overwhelm
●Military transitions and relationship challenges
●Feeling stuck or unsure about what’s next
●Rebuilding identity and confidence after big changes

Let’s Take the Next Step - Together! You’ve spent so much time showing up for everyone else. Therapy can be a place where you feel supported, too.
