Great to meet you!

My name is Alexis and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have always been drawn to helping people and animals in need, and have personal knowledge of what it means to struggle. I help people solve their problems in meaningful and adaptive ways so that they can reach their full potential. I work with individuals and couples who are struggling with major life changes, communication barriers, life satisfaction, depression, self-esteem issues, anxiety, and relationship issues.

My approach to therapy

If you’re feeling overwhelmed and hopeless coping with life’s challenges, it’s helpful to have someone calm, supportive, and empathetic to listen and provide guidance. I help my clients challenge negative core beliefs, anger, guilt, and pain that keep them stuck in maladaptive thoughts and behaviors. I take special care in helping my clients develop self-compassion, boundaries, resolve conflicts, repair relationships and strengthen their emotional intelligence.

What you can expect from me

During our first session, I aim to understand what brings you to therapy and to begin to help you feel differently about your problems by the time our session ends. I encourage my clients to look inward and to be open and candid with me so that I can gain insight into their history, current struggles, interests, strengths, and goals. If you’ve never gone to therapy, or if it’s been a while, it’s time to move forward and rediscover the best version of yourself.
