MISSION

I'm a deep believer in - and experiencer of - the human being's vast capacity to heal and transform. My work is informed by the fields of interpersonal neurobiology and attachment science which understand that the brilliant survival strategies that got us through what we needed to get through often come at a great cost to experiencing our inherent wholeness. The safety of a good therapy relationship can be an important leg of that journey of reconnection. I believe that as we heal ourselves, one by one, we transform our world. We are more able to turn towards ourselves and others with love and understanding.

COUPLES
THERAPY

Disconnection from your partner can feel excruciating and trigger feelings of hopelessness and despair. Our best efforts at finding safety in moments of insecurity - our learned patterns of behavior - can end up triggering our partner's reactive response and we then become stuck in painful cycles of disconnect. My approach to working with couples is rooted in attachment theory and the understanding that, regardless of the content of the conflict, what keeps us from feeling close and safe has more to do with our underlying attachment needs and our confusion with how to get our needs truly met in our current relationships. EFT (Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy) helps couples to heal these early attachment wounds together, creating a secure bond and sense of refuge in the storm.

ABOUT ALEXIS

Over the last more than 20 years it has been a privilege to accompany people of all ages and walks of life as they grow in their lives and relationships. My style has been influenced by the fields of attachment theory, intersubjective and relational psychotherapy, somatic or body-centered therapy, parts work, and mindfulness-based psychotherapy approaches. Years of learning with indigenous healing ways, folkloric dance and martial arts, and earth-based spiritual practice inform how I approach psychotherapy and the healing journey of the human beings. I'm passionate about living with soul and creating more wholeness within and without.
