“Art can permeate the very deepest part of us, where no words exist.” – Eileen Miller

Hi, I’m Alexis and I believe in a compassionate approach to care, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment for individuals to build support. I use a variety of different approaches focused primarily on cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and person-centered care, using an individualized process to establish a relationship between myself and you. I believe we can tailor our time together to reflect wherever you fall in your life’s journey.

I work with adults and kids in both an individual and group setting, focusing on people that experience substance use disorders, anxiety, every-day issues, and life-transitions. I also have experience, in practice, with art therapy. Art can foster creativity in the therapeutic relationship, and enhance means of communication. I believe all humans are born innately creative and we can explore this process together. I am very excited to begin this journey with you!
