Hello! I’m Alysen, Clinical Intern

I am a pre-licensed clinician who enjoys working with clients of all ages navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, emotional regulation, and self-esteem concerns. I support clients in exploring their emotions, building insight, and strengthening their sense of self. I am especially passionate about helping people who feel stuck or overwhelmed reconnect with their strengths and move toward meaningful, fulfilling lives.

How I Work

My approach is supportive, collaborative, and client-centered. I use a strengths-based perspective to help you recognize the resilience and resources you already have, while also incorporating tools such as cognitive reframing and coping skills development to support growth. I prioritize creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and understood. I believe therapy is most effective when you set the pace, so I encourage you to take the lead in identifying your goals while I walk alongside you, offering guidance, support, and practical strategies.

What Led Me Here

I was drawn to social work through a deep belief in people’s capacity for growth and healing, even in the face of life’s challenges. I am inspired by the courage it takes to seek support and the meaningful change that can come from feeling truly seen, understood, and safe. Being part of that process and helping others build more fulfilling lives continues to motivate my work.

Outside of therapy, I enjoy reading and spending quality time with my partner, family, and close friends.
