Great to meet you!

You’ve done a lot of healing work on your own. You’re self-aware, maybe even the go-to person for others... but now you’re the one needing space to unravel, reflect, and reconnect.

I’m Alexis — a holistic, trauma-informed therapist who gets that healing isn’t one-size-fits-all. Maybe you’re feeling anxious, burned out, disconnected from your body or identity. Maybe you're exploring your sexuality, relationship structure, or spiritual path and just want someone who gets it without judgment. You're in the right place.

My approach to therapy

In our work together, we’ll move through a collaborative, mind–body–spirit framework. I bring in a blend of practices, informed by my training as a certified yoga instructor and my focus on nervous system regulation. That may also include shadow work to explore hidden parts of yourself, somatic practices to reconnect with your body, or narrative and existential therapy to help you rewrite your story. I also pull from solution-focused tools when you’re ready to take action and make changes in your life.

What you can expect from me

I work best with adult women who are ready to question old patterns, explore new ways of being, and take up more space in their lives. I’m kink- and poly-aware, LGBTQIA+ affirming, and comfortable working with sex, intimacy, unconventional lifestyles, and spirituality.

If you’re looking for a therapist who’s grounded but not rigid, holistic but still practical, and open-minded enough to hold all the messy, beautiful parts of you — I’d love to connect.
