Hi again! I’m Alyssa. 

A woman with red hair, glasses, and a multicolored checkered vest over a yellow turtleneck, smiling in front of a plain beige wall.

I use They/Them pronouns.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Oregon. Outside of these roles, I’m a mixed media artist. I have been a mindfulness practitioner for the last ten years.

I have experience as an individual therapist, a mindfulness group facilitator, an art therapy group facilitator, a psychedelic peer support specialist, a public speaker, an author, and a researcher.  These roles synthesize together to inform how I approach the therapeutic relationship.

I have worked in a diverse array of clinical and creative environments, including a children’s hospital, an addiction recovery center, a low income clinical mental health agency, private research studies, and an immersive art collective.

My clients can tend to be people who are highly sensitive or have been described as previously “too much” (fact: you are not too much). They tend to be leaders in their communities and are finding the right balance of feeling the pain of the world and not over extending themselves. They often find themselves wanting to get out of destructive coping mechanisms and finding healthier ways to manage stress, anxiety, and struggle to cope with uncertainty.

My clients of all genders feel empowered to explore relationships and the impact that one’s family of origin holds on one’s relationship with self and others. 

I want to support people in gaining self-intimacy and self-acceptance.

 I want to work with people who are open to gaining new tools in their tool belt to make it through this wild journey of life. 

I’m especially passionate about working with folks in the LGBTQIA+ community or those involved in sex work.
