Alyssa’s primary focus is working with child, adolescent, and young adult patients of all genders and sexualities. She has a wide range of experience treating conditions such as depression, bipolar disorder, ADD/ADHD, sleep disorders, anxiety disorders, panic disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and oppositional defiant disorder (ODD). Alyssa is gifted in working with Autistic youth and adults who have co-occurring mental health concerns. Her approach to treatment is holistic and patient-centered, valuing a collaborative exchange between herself and her patients to ensure they feel heard and understood. "Wellbeing becomes possible when we aren’t in a frenzy or frozen. I think we can start to feel a sense of wellbeing when we can find meaning in the things that brought us here, make peace with our experiences, and incorporate the wisdom or learning that’s possible.” Alyssa’s journey into mental health care was shaped by her own struggles with ADHD and anxiety during her academic years, as well as her early experiences with a psychiatric nurse practitioner who sincerely listened and helped her navigate her own mental health challenges. Her career path shifted from a plan to become an interpreter to working in healthcare as a pharmacy tech, all while earning a BS in Psychology. Alyssa’s work in the Pacific Northwest, starting in 2021, deepened her understanding of mental health medication management and allowed her to learn from patients who shared their nuanced experiences with care and healing.
