Meet Alyssa

Hi, I’m Alyssa (she/her) and I’m so glad you are here. 

I’m an LCSW-C, EMDRIA Certified Therapist and EMDRIA Approved Consultant from Silver Spring, MD. I provide EMDR and weekly individual therapy via telehealth across MD, DC, VA, PA and VT.

I specialize in helping adults and adolescents heal from complex trauma, PTSD, sexual violence, domestic abuse, perfectionism and the weight of difficult life experiences. I’m affirming and inclusive of all LGBTQIA+ identities.

I believe therapy can be feel refreshingly different —even joyful. Given the right space, we all have the capacity to grow, heal and transform.
