My Natural Self Welcomes Yours

I’ve always been drawn to work that connects me to others. My journey to wellness is ongoing and has had many bumps. I’ve certainly had my share of bruises. Having the skills to care for your own wounds and seek help when needed is a skill in itself.

Pain is inevitable but suffering doesn’t have to be. Therapy can help.

You’re not alone in your pain and you don’t have to heal, grow, and make changes alone either. Humans are biologically driven to connect with other humans.

Discovering, or re-discovering, your natural self means connecting to your most important relationship- your relationship with the core of who you are.

For you, this journey might look very different from mine. And that’s what I’m committed to helping you with- discovering what your natural self needs to create a life that’s meaningful to you.

I’m here. I’m listening. Let’s see how we can work together to support you in your wellness journey.

Warmly,
Alyssa
