Navigating Life’s Challenges with Strength and Clarity

Hi, I’m Alexis! I believe therapy should feel genuine, comfortable, and human. My style is down to earth, intentional, and collaborative. I’ll meet you where you are, challenge you when it’s helpful, and use humor when appropriate. Sometimes meaningful work is serious, and sometimes being able to laugh while working through it is part of the process.

I believe that true growth happens when you feel seen, heard, and deeply understood. As a person-centered counselor with a diverse background as both a local business owner (with my husband) and former high school teacher, I offer more than just clinical support—I offer a real-world perspective on the pressures of modern life. Whether you are a student navigating the social complexities of high school or a high-achieving professional battling "imposter syndrome," I understand the weight of the expectations placed upon you.

Real Support for Life’s Toughest Chapters

My practice is a safe, supportive harbor designed for teens (15 & up), adults, and couples navigating struggles that make facing forward feel difficult. Utilizing a trauma-informed approach, I provide an empowering space where clients feel truly heard and equipped to grow.

For my individual clients, I specialize in addressing anxiety, depression, burnout, and ADHD (with or without medication). Whether you are a teen navigating peer relationships, an adult working through trauma, crisis, or anger management, or someone trying to rebuild self-esteem and emotional regulation skills, I am here to help you develop healthy coping mechanisms and assertive communication.

I also bring dedicated expertise to specialized areas of healing. I support high-achieving adults and professionals facing workplace bullying and chronic self-doubt, helping them set boundaries and strengthen their confidence. Additionally, I work closely with couples looking to repair their connection, and offer a safe haven for adult survivors of domestic violence (both women and men) as they reclaim their lives and rebuild their security.

Core Areas of Focus

A little about me…..

My journey to becoming a therapist was shaped by years of connecting with people across all walks of life, discovering early on that my true calling lay in sitting with others through life’s most pivotal moments.

For over 20 years, I worked as a hairstylist—a role that went far beyond technique and taught me how to deeply listen, build rapport, and hold space for people sharing their everyday stories and struggles. Wanting to make a broader impact, I transitioned into education as a high school teacher and later became a business owner. Each of these chapters reinforced the importance of human connection, but my passion for supporting others through deeper mental health challenges eventually guided me into professional counseling.

Throughout my clinical training and practice, I have supported individuals and families in private practice, walked alongside survivors of domestic violence and sexual abuse, and currently serve as an inpatient therapist at a psychiatric hospital guiding clients through acute mental health needs.

Beyond my professional background, my life is grounded in personal experience and family ties. As both the daughter and wife of a firefighter, the first responder community is exceptionally close to my heart. I understand firsthand the unique lifestyle, systemic stressors, relationship dynamics, and family pressures that come with this vital work, and I am deeply dedicated to welcoming first responders and their loved ones into my practice.

At home, I’ve been happily married to my husband for 14 years, and we share our lives with two wonderful dogs. Outside of sessions, you’ll usually find me spending quality time with family, boating, traveling, going to car shows, or finding something to laugh about in everyday life.

I bring that same warmth, authenticity, and lightheartedness into my therapeutic work. You don’t have to be polished or have the perfect words when you walk into a session. Just come as you are—I’m here to walk alongside you.
