The process of therapy, and of change in general, can be intimidating and scary but also exciting, creative and illuminating. My role is to help support you in this change process by listening, offering insights, teaching new skills and providing a safe place, free of judgment, for you to speak your truth; to tell your story.
Thoughts for your soul
On this site, you will find information and tools that can provide support. Mindfulness is a practice that I often incorporate into therapy and can be explored and practiced on your own. On my blog, you will find writing on mindfulness as well as other topics which I am often asked about. I hope you find these helpful.
I'll teach you skills which can support the changes you want to make in your life.
Let's get real!
Therapy provides an opportunity for a person to better understand oneself; to grow; to find the acceptance, awareness and peace that can only come from inside. Therapy can be challenging and also very rewarding. It often involves learning to step outside your comfort zone. With practice, and support, you can become more comfortable with being uncomfortable. Is this that leads to increased strength and courage as well as growth and change.
we all have our blind spots.
I help illuminate those.
what clients are saying
Dr Alisa saved my marriage! She helped my husband and me see how we were playing out the blueprints we learned in childhood with each other. What was most helpful is that she gave us skills that we continue to use so that we can work together to resolve our issues instead of fighting endlessly and going in circles.
From the moment I walked into Alisa’s office I felt safe and comfortable. She has a way of making me feel truly listened to and understood. I appreciate her openness and non-judgmental way of exploring my feelings and experiences.
I sometimes find myself thinking, “what would Dr. Alisa say?”and it always helps me find a solution or feel better.
Please have a look at my current and upcoming workshops and read about how a workshop can benefit you and be a great gift to yourself.
