About

Hi there! My name is Alexis and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 12 years of experience. I have worked in various settings including outpatient, crisis stabilization, in home support, and day treatment. I work with clients with a range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, personality disorders, schizophrenia, and bipolar. I received my Bachelors degree from Chico State, my Masters degree from Cal Poly, and I am currently working on my PsyD and hope to finish in a year!

My goal in treatment is to support you in creating more insight and awareness into your concerns so you can have a positive sense of self and to feel more in control of your experience. My approach is through a variety of modalities which are chosen based on your individual needs. I will utilize your strengths to create a foundation of treatment. I utilize a client centered approach as you are the expert in your life and that will help guide the direction of therapy. I utilize Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) to help you explore the relationships among thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to aid in discovering dysfunctional thought patterns leading to self-destructive behaviors and beliefs. Using Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), I support clients through developing skills: mindfulness, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and emotion regulation with the goal of moving clients towards a life involving the capacity for experiencing joy and freedom. Thank you for reaching out and I look forward to working with you.
