Alyssa completed her MA in 2023 under the supervision of Dr. Henny Westra. Alyssa's research primarily focuses on the psychotherapy process (i.e., moment-to-moment transactions between the client and the therapist) with a particular emphasis on ambivalence and resistance, as well as how to improve psychotherapist training using novel methods like deliberate practice and process coding. Alyssa has a secondary interest in the nature and treatment of BPD and as such, has been involved in the TULiP Lab for several years. Alyssa has assisted with clinical trials and systematic reviews investigating the role of social connectedness for individuals with BPD.
