My name is Alexis (or Lexie), I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in the state of California. I received my master's in couples and family therapy from Alliant International University in San Diego. I have been working as a mental health professional since 2016 in a non-profit setting with individuals from all walks of life throughout their lifespan.

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

In our first session together, I like to gather information on your history and experiences that have led you to this point. Don't worry - we don't have to unpack everything during our first meeting, but I do like to get a sense of who you are and what experiences brought you to therapy!

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

I have both personal and professional experience with therapy which helps me remain humble and human! I use humor (when appropriate) and keep it real with clients.

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

Much of my experience conducting therapy includes providing individual and family therapy, in-office and online, in an outpatient setting. I have worked with folks experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship and parenting issues, teen concerns, and a wide range of challenges including grief/loss, insomnia, trauma, abuse, behavioral issues, as well as personal growth, adjustment issues, and crisis. I am trained and competent in working with folks who have experienced homelessness, as well as chronic or severe trauma.
