Personal Statment

As a dedicated psychotherapist with over a decade of experience, I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and achieve their fullest potential. My journey in clinical psychology has equipped me with the skills and insights to support patients dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions. I specialize in fostering self-esteem and improving relationships through personalized, holistic approaches.

Being bicultural and multilingual, I understand the unique challenges faced by diverse populations. I believe in the power of tailored interventions and coping strategies, recognizing that each person’s path to well-being is unique. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where patients feel understood and empowered to make meaningful changes. By promoting balance, resilience, and self-awareness, I strive to guide my patients towards a more fulfilling and balanced life.

Working with Children

Working with children through play therapy is a deeply rewarding experience. This therapeutic approach leverages the natural way children express themselves—through play. By creating a safe and supportive environment, I can help children explore their emotions, develop coping mechanisms, and resolve psychological challenges. Play therapy allows children to communicate their feelings and experiences in a non-verbal, creative manner, fostering emotional growth and resilience. Through structured play activities, I can address issues such as anxiety, trauma, and behavioral problems, guiding children towards healthier emotional and social development.

Working with Teens 

Alexis incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help teens navigate their emotional and behavioral issues. By fostering empathetic dialogue and providing personalized, holistic support, Alexis aims to achieve positive outcomes for each individual. This approach not only helps teens manage their current struggles but also equips them with the skills needed for future challenges.

Working with Couples

Alexis works to help couples navigate the complexities of their relationships by fostering open communication, mutual understanding, and emotional connection. Her approach integrates evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to address issues like communication breakdowns, trust, and intimacy. By creating a safe and supportive environment, she empowers couples to explore their challenges, rediscover their strengths, and build a healthier, more fulfilling relationship
