Hello! My name is Alyssa. A little about me... I attended Weber State University and received my Bachelors of Social Work from their program. I then attended The University of Southern California (Go Trojans!) and graduated with my Masters of Social Work. During my school years, I also had the opportunity to go on a two-week study abroad in Switzerland to learn more and better understand Harm Reduction principles and how I could apply them in my own therapy practice. I have experience working with adults who have experienced trauma, along with adults who are in need of substance use treatment. I take a Harm Reduction approach and understand that “cookie cutter” approaches are not the best way to go since everyone is beautifully unique. My therapy style is client centered and working off of what the client gives me. I love implementing speciality work such as EMDR for adults who would benefit from it. I am trained and certified to conduct EMDR sessions both via Telehealth and In person. I was born and raised in Salt Lake City and love staying close to my family. My hobbies include: Meditation, spiritual growth, being with my dog (Bindi), family time, and exploring nature. If I sound like a good fit for you, I would love the opportunity of helping you in your journey!
