From the Provider

About the Provider

An internship in her local emergency room on the path to becoming what she thought would be a physician set Alyssa on a course toward nursing. Drawn to the varied and important roles she observed nurses playing, it wasn’t until nursing school that Alyssa was introduced to nurse-midwifery, which combined the things she loved about medicine and nursing in a wholly unique way. After working nearly 12 years as a labor and delivery nurse and charge nurse, Alyssa returned to school for her master’s degree in nurse midwifery. 

Today, Alyssa’s deep foundation in nursing enables her to better support pregnant, birthing and new parents throughout the experience, including what to expect at each step of the way. While she adores caring for people during pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum, Alyssa also loves being able to set teens down a path of reproductive health and autonomy; help people transitioning to menopause feel more like themselves; and provide safe and affirming spaces for transgender men to receive gynecology, pregnancy and gender-affirming wellness care. She loves connecting with people who bring different stories and lived experiences and helping them meet their goals.

Inside of the exam room and out, Alyssa is an activist when it comes to reproductive choice and self-determination. As a mom of two young boys, she and her family can often be found on the soccer field, hiking, swimming and loving on their two dogs—a golden doodle and a Boston terrier.
