About Ms. Alyssa: For me, therapy begins with connection, the kind that grows when you truly know a child and see the world through their eyes. I follow their curiosity, weaving it into playful moments that nurture communication, social-emotional skills, and independence. One day we might be conquering an obstacle course, the next crafting something fun, or leaping into a pretend play adventure. No matter the activity, my favorite part is watching a child’s face light up when they feel understood and capable.
As a USC Sensory Integration, certified therapist, I have advanced training in helping children navigate sensory experiences so they can feel calm, regulated, and ready to explore their world.
When I’m not in the clinic, you’ll find me crafting, dressing up at a Ren faire, lost in a good book, plotting my next board game win, or enjoying the company of my four cats. I’ve been married to my wonderful husband, Tommy, for 13 years, and together we love traveling and dreaming up our next adventure!
If I Had a Superpower: I’d choose something like Hermione’s time-turner from Harry Potter, so I could revisit my favorite moments in life anytime I wanted.
My Favorite Sensory Activity: Getting messy, whether it’s with shaving cream, paint, or slime!
