Alyssa went through traumatic experiences in childhood leading to struggles with anxiety and depression Through the therapeutic process of healing those past traumas as an adult, she was inspired to strive to become the help that she and her family needed during those challenging times.

Alyssa believes that the family is a vital space in which to foster peace, support, and safety, and that experiences in childhood inform our behaviors and how we relate to others.
