Alyssa (she/her)

Alyssa is a 3rd-generation Chinese American who grew up in the Bay Area on Ohlone land. Other salient identities include neurodivergent and introvert. She holds a holistic view of health accounting for mind, body, and spirit. Alyssa is passionate about increasing access to mental health services and resources.

When not seeing clients, I enjoy spending time outdoors gardening or hiking, rock climbing, baking, or snuggling up with a good cup of tea.

  • "She is a warm, caring, and nonjudgmental listener who holds space for all your humanity with constant compassion. She takes particular care to make sure that the container for your relationship is at all times clear, well-communicated, and reliable. She is unfailingly involved, helpful, and dependable, in a world where those qualities can feel all too rare. She genuinely cares about her fellow humans, and consistently, generously, and responsibly responds to the call of need. This is why anyone lucky enough to work with Alyssa will quickly come to love and value her as the indispensable gem she is."
