Meet Alissa

My name is Alissa and I am thrilled to be a part of the Verus Therapy team. 

Have you been feeling depressed or anxious?

Are life’s stresses affecting your work life, family life, relationships or daily activities?

There are some things that are just too difficult to work though on our own and that’s ok! Asking for help can be hard and may take some courage, but it is usually the first step in making a positive change in your life.

As a therapist, my goal is to help you overcome whatever it is that is keeping you from living your life to the fullest. 

I believe in a client-centered approach, focusing on a person’s individual needs. We will create a safe place to work together, with the aim of helping you regain control of your life and advance your personal growth.

You have the ability to make constructive and positive changes, which I will facilitate by providing the help, support and guidance you need to overcome any obstacles in your way. 

I would welcome the opportunity to join you on your journey.
