Work with Alisa

Emotional connection, self-worth, and family patterns.

Alisa works with the emotional experiences that can be difficult to put into words. She is attentive to how early relationships continue to shape the ways we feel, connect, and respond to others.

Approach

Her approach draws on psychodynamic and attachment-based therapies, including AEDP and Internal Family Systems. In couples work, she uses Emotionally Focused Therapy to explore the needs beneath recurring conflict.

Areas of focus

People-pleasing and self-criticism
Worth that feels tied to performance
East Asian family dynamics and boundaries
Relational and developmental trauma

Background

Alisa studied philosophy as an undergraduate and welcomes clients who bring intellectual curiosity and emotional complexity to therapy.
