My philosophy comes from the perspective that we can all find the strength we need within ourselves, more than we believe is possible, by examining and challenging our thoughts, feelings and perspectives. By evaluating our own expectations and those we hold of others we can better understand how to attain our personal goals and overcome challenges. As a woman, mother and athlete I value the importance of maximizing my potential as a human being and finding balance in the face of the very obstacles and challenges that make me human, and I bring that attitude to my work with others.

Many people recognize at some point that they need to do some "work" on themselves. Whether feeling depressed, anxious and/or overly reactive to people and events around us, our old coping mechanisms just don't seem to work as well.
In fact, many of us hit a point where we just know we need to do something. This is the perfect time to consider therapy. We are ready for change at this point b/c the pain of staying the same has become unacceptable. I applaud your courage at that point to take this big step.
Ready to regain hope in a space that feels safe and respected? Call today.

Hi, I’m Alexis, but you can call me Lex. You are more than the things you’ve been carrying, the anxiety that follows you, or the expectations you feel you have to meet. If you’re tired of feeling stuck in the same cycles, questioning yourself, or just surviving instead of living, therapy can help you slow down and make sense of it all. Together, we explore the “why” behind your thoughts and behaviors, not to dwell on the past, but to understand it, notice patterns, and build trust in yourself and clarity in your life. If you’re reading this, you’ve already taken the first step… and that matters.

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.
