Hi! I'm Alexis, a queer, multiracial, Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Trauma-Informed Yoga Teacher with a passion for empowering and walking alongside others who are a part of the LGBTQIA+ community on their life journey. My goal is to provide a safe space for the individuals I work with to explore their many identities as well as empower my clients to be their most true and unique selves. My approach to therapy is client centered and led. I believe the greatest gift of therapy is in the therapeutic connection formed between the client and the therapist and I work to create a safe, welcoming and affirming space.
I work with adults, teens and couples and am passionate about working with queer and trans communities, BIPOC communities, as well as walking alongside those on a journey of finding body acceptance, body liberation, and fostering self-compassion. My specialties include LGBTQ+ Issues, Anxiety, Depression, Life Transitions, Self-Esteem and Trauma.
I would love to explore the potential of walking beside you on your healing journey. If we find out we are not a good fit, I would love to connect you with someone who could better meet your needs and goals. I am excited to see how I can best support you in embracing the most authentic version of yourself!
