More about Alyse
- 10 years' experience

- 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, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
