Individual therapy, whether with adults or adolescent clients, must truly be individual in my mind - a unique experience that really depends on the nature and reason the person is there to see me. My training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is only one part of my approach due to my varied and eclectic background. I respect and value the research based approach of CBT and its goal to teach clients how to interpret and deal with various aspects of their environment, but my training as an attorney and my role with the FBI also influences my approach to clients.

Every child is trying to belong. When they can’t find a way that works, they’ll settle for being noticed. That can look like meltdowns, eye rolls, shutting down, or the girl who quits before she can fail.
I’m Dr. Erica. In my playroom, we don’t manage behavior, we get curious about what it’s trying to say. Through the therapeutic powers of play, we uncover what’s driving it: anxiety, anger, perfectionism, the fear of not being enough. Together, we make sense of it.
I work with children, teens, and the grown-ups raising them. Tell me what’s happening at your house, and we’ll figure out where to begin.

You know your son is capable of more. But something isn't right. Maybe he's withdrawn. Maybe he's lost confidence. Maybe motivation has disappeared, school has become a struggle, or every conversation turns into an argument. You know he's capable of more, but you're tired of guessing what he actually needs. You don't want to spend the next few years simply hoping things get better. You want to understand what's holding him back, help him grow into the man he's becoming, and move forward with confidence. That's exactly what I can help you do.

Hello, I’m Alexis!
I’m from North Dakota, but have called Arizona home since 2016. I graduated with my masters in social work from Fordham University in New York.
I got my start in community mental health, where I developed a deep understanding of how trauma and stress affect the brain. When our brains and bodies are under stress, it can impair our ability to navigate relationships, with both ourselves and others. I’ve used this knowledge to help foster greater empathy and attunement in parent-child dynamics, as well as to support individuals in understanding how their attachment wounds shape adult relationships.

Self Esteem Therapists
When should a person seek therapy for low self-esteem?
When self-esteem problems begin to disrupt the healthy daily functioning of an individual, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not engaging with friends for fear of being judged, not completing work assignments because they don’t think they’re capable, or not finding romantic love because they don’t feel they’re worthy of it, a therapist may be able to help.
What are the signs of low self-esteem?
Low self-esteem is a common issue that can affect a person's mental and emotional well-being. Some common signs of low self-esteem include negative self-talk, perfectionism, social anxiety, difficulty making decisions, an inability to set boundaries, people-pleasing, and others. A lack of belief in oneself or one’s abilities and a feeling of not being worthy or deserving underlie most of these characteristics.
What causes low self-esteem?
Feelings of low self-worth can begin in childhood or adulthood. Being raised by a highly critical parent or growing up feeling constant disapproval can stay with a person well into adulthood. Specific issues in adulthood may also be a cause of low self-esteem. An unhappy relationship, a dysfunctional work or school experience can impact a person’s feelings of self-worth.
How can therapy improve self-esteem?
Therapists can help identify negative thought patterns that keep the client stuck in a loop of destructive self-talk and develop coping skills to change the voice in their head. A therapist can help with goal-setting, so that clients are better able to stay on task and build confidence from successfully completing work they’re proud of. Coaching a client on how to better communicate can improve relationships. These skills can result in someone with low self-esteem feeling empowered and living with less fear.
