Hi, I’m Alysson.

I am a licensed mental health therapist (LH 60998489) working in Washington state. I received my Masters in Counseling through the University of Victoria in British Columbia, where I also did my undergrad in teaching.

I began working in schools, on a First Nation reserve and in community mental health for the first five years after I graduated with my MA. I am now nearly ten years in to a private practice while I have had three kids and have moved from Canada to the Snoqualmie Valley in Washington state. I have been trained with a focus on trauma and healing through narrative therapy (being able to tell your story and work with your emotions), and have done additional training in pychoanalysis, dream and art therapy.

I bring empathy, humor and honesty to our work together. From my experience, healing and growing takes consistent time together (meeting weekly) and connecting the conscious, everyday parts of our lives to the unconscious patterns we have established.

There is no quick-fix, but there is relief in developing an understanding for your context and being with your experiences together. I aim to listen with you to the layers of your story and provide the space for you to grow your relationship with yourself.
