Therapy for Women Navigating Change, Stress,
and Identity Shifts
There are chapters in life that feel overwhelming – when everything around you is shifting, and you’re not sure how to keep up.
Maybe you’ve become a parent. Moved somewhere new. Started over – again. Or maybe you just feel like you’ve lost parts of yourself along the way.
If you’re feeling anxious, burned out, or uncertain about what’s next, therapy can be a space to pause, breathe, and reconnect with who you are.
You don’t have to figure it out alone.
Let’s explore what support might look like for you.
Hi, I’m Alyssa
I specialize in helping women navigating motherhood, military life, anxiety, and big life transitions find space to reconnect with themselves – and feel more grounded in who they’re becoming.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, a mom of two, and a military spouse. For over five years, I’ve supported women and families through seasons of change, and I’ve walked through many of the same challenges my clients face.
Motherhood changed me. Military life stretched me. These experiences deepened my passion for supporting women who are juggling so much – emotionally, mentally, and logistically – while still trying to show up for everyone else.
““You don’t need to have the right words. You just need a place to start.”
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)
Helps shift unhelpful thought patterns so you can respond with more clarity, compassion, and choice.
Solution-Focused Therapy
Focuses on practical, achievable steps to help you move toward your goals – even when life feels overwhelming.
Motivational Interviewing
Supports your motivation and confidence when you’re feeling stuck or unsure about change.
Narrative Therapy
Helps you explore your story, redefine what it means to you, and connect more deeply with your strengths and identity.
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
Many of the people I work with come to therapy feeling stretched thin, unsure of what’s next, or like they’ve lost pieces of themselves in the chaos of life.
In our work together, we might unpack challenges like
- ●
- Adjusting to new motherhood and identity shifts.
- ●Coping with anxiety, burnout, or emotional overload.
- ●Navigating military transitions and relationship strain.
- ●Feeling stuck or uncertain 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.
