Hi, I'm Alexis. You might be feeling overwhelmed with life and need someone to talk to. Therapy is an essential practice that will help you understand your challenges and bring you the happiness you deserve. I will be there to support and guide you as you grow into the person you want to be. My goal as a therapist is to help you overcome obstacles and develop the skills needed to improve your overall well-being. I provide a warm and non-judgmental space for you to be truly heard so that you can communicate your authentic thoughts and feelings in a safe place. I can help you address your problems, make positive changes, and use the skills that we develop together to solve future problems. I am certified in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and often incorporate aspects of talk therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, motivational interviewing, problem solving, and skill building techniques into my work with clients. Each technique is tailored specifically to each individual's needs. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) helping serve individuals in Chicago and all over Illinois. I have extensive experience working with teens and adults diagnosed with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, thought disorders, substance use disorders, and trauma histories.

Whether you're facing a major life transition or simply want to better understand yourself, I'm here to support you every step of the way. My work is grounded in the belief that healing happens in safe, attuned relationships. I integrate attachment theory, EMDR, psychodynamic insight, and emotion-focused techniques to help clients explore the roots of their struggles, process unresolved trauma, and build more fulfilling relationships—with themselves and others. Whether you're working through anxiety, relationship issues, childhood wounds, or overwhelming emotions, I offer a warm and collaborative space where all parts of you are welcome. I use an attachment lens to understand how early experiences shape current patterns, EMDR to target and reprocess painful memories, psychodynamic exploration to uncover unconscious dynamics, and emotion-focused work to deepen emotional awareness and resilience.
