More about Alyse
- 10 years' experience
- Female
- LICSW
I'm a therapist dedicated to supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. With experience working with adults navigating stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and trauma, I bring both clinical skill and genuine compassion to my practice.
My work centers on helping clients explore self-love, strengthen communication, and reconnect with their sense of purpose. I'm particularly skilled at supporting women, first responders, and those processing guilt, shame, and panic. I also have meaningful experience with adoption and foster care issues, family dynamics, infidelity, and workplace challenges.
I understand that healing from trauma and compassion fatigue requires a thoughtful, personalized approach. I create a space where you can feel heard, respected, and supported as you work through what brought you here.
My therapeutic style is grounded in empathy and collaboration. I believe in meeting you where you are and walking alongside you at your own pace, drawing on evidence-based practices to support real, meaningful change.
If you're ready to take that courageous first step toward healing and growth, I'm honored to be part of your journey.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
