Hello! My name is Alexis, and I am a licensed clinician in Florida with over 5 years of experience. Healing begins in a space where you are fully seen, heard, and known, without judgment or shame. My goal is to meet you where you are at and get you to where you want to be. I offer CBT, relationship counseling, mind-body healing techniques, music therapy, and Christian counseling to cater to your preferences and needs. I believe therapy should feel like a sacred refuge where you don’t have to perform, hide, or stay stuck in your current circumstances. Have questions or concerns about insurance or want to see if we would be a good fit? Schedule a free consultation on my website!

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session, you can expect to be welcomed into a safe, non-judgmental space where we’ll take time to understand your unique challenges and goals. We’ll discuss your history, the concerns you're currently facing, and how you’d like to see things improve. Together, we’ll create a roadmap for your therapy, focusing on practical steps you can take to work through difficulties and begin healing. I’ll provide clarity on how we can integrate different techniques into our work to build healthier thoughts and behaviors. The goal is to leave feeling understood and with a clear sense of direction on your healing plan.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My greatest strength as a therapist is my ability to truly see you—not just your struggles or diagnosis, but your resilience, your story, and the person you are beyond any past wounds. I create a space where you don’t have to perform, prove yourself, or fear judgment. I aim to meet you exactly where you are with compassion and practical tools for healing. I also bring a unique balance of insight and strategy. I will help you not only understand their patterns but take real steps toward change. With a blend of evidence-based techniques, creative approaches like music therapy, and deep empathy, I walk alongside you as we break through barriers and build the life you deserve.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

You pour into everyone else—who’s pouring into you? You’re the one others turn to for support, but inside, you feel drained, stuck, or uncertain. Maybe you struggle with self-doubt, relationship challenges, health issues, OCD, or struggling with your body. You want to set boundaries, build confidence, and find your purpose in life, but you don’t have to figure it all out alone. I specialize in helping you discover the best version of yourself through understanding your attachment style, how trauma has shaped you, and healing from any pain you are holding on to.

My treatment methods

Christian Counseling

You weren’t created to carry your burdens alone. “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). Christian counseling isn’t just about coping—it’s about healing at the deepest level, where your faith and struggles meet. Whether you’re battling anxiety that keeps you up at night, depression that weighs you down, or the scars of past trauma, healing is possible. Maybe PTSD has left you hypervigilant, or religious OCD makes you question if you're “good enough” for God. Perhaps growing up with a narcissistic caregiver taught you love was conditional. But God’s love isn’t. In our sessions, we’ll use both biblical truth and evidence-based therapy to challenge the lies, silence shame, and rebuild your identity in Christ. You don’t have to stay stuck. Let’s take that first step together.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you understand the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. By identifying and challenging negative or unhelpful thought patterns, we work together to break the cycle of emotional distress and create healthier responses. Through techniques like cognitive restructuring and behavior activation, I’ll guide you in recognizing distorted thinking, developing practical tools, and building new coping strategies. Whether you're managing anxiety, improving self-esteem, or strengthening relationships, CBT will empower you to make rewire the way you think and make new, healthy thought patterns.

Attachment-based

Healing starts with connection. Many of our struggles, whether it’s OCD, anxiety, avoidant behaviors, or the wounds left by a narcissistic caregiver, are rooted in early attachment patterns. In my practice, I will help you recognize how these patterns shape your relationships, self-worth, and emotional responses. By creating a secure, judgment-free therapeutic space, I will guide you in understanding and healing attachment wounds, developing healthier relationship dynamics, and learning to trust yourself and others again.

Mind-body approach

Anxiety, trauma, and depression don’t just live in your thoughts; they show up in your body. Tightness in your chest, racing heart, exhaustion that won’t go away. Healing isn’t just about changing your thoughts, it’s about restoring balance to your entire being. In our sessions, we’ll integrate therapy and mind-body techniques like breathwork, music, movement, and grounding exercises to release stored trauma and reconnect with yourself.
