You may be here because
something in life feels hard.
You long for things to be different,
but perhaps don’t know where to start.
Maybe despite your best efforts you
still find yourself fighting an uphill battle.
It takes courage to reach out for support — I’m so glad you’re here.
Welcome! I’m Alexis.
I’m a holistic psychotherapist trained in mind-body approaches to therapy that help people heal, grow, and thrive. I’m also an aspiring cook, spicy food lover, and dedicated yoga practitioner.
I know a thing or two about personal struggle having been there many times myself. I also know how vulnerable it can feel to search for a therapist, but you’re already taking the first step towards a greater sense of well-being.
I offer a caring and affirming space where we can explore what gets in the way of your happiness — how you got here, what’s helped you up to this point, and what may now be holding you back.
My style is warm and down-to-earth, reflecting my commitment that therapy be an environment in which you feel safe, seen and understood. I bring my true self to our meetings with presence, curiosity and lighthearted doses of humor, and I invite you to come exactly how you are.
Together we’ll unwind the places where you struggle, deepening your self-understanding and empowering you to live fully, with more ease, freedom and choice.

I offer in-person therapy in
San Francisco and Marin County,
and online therapy throughout California.
Much of what makes therapy successful is the strength of the relationship you have with your therapist, so finding someone with whom you feel comfortable is important.
The best way to get a sense if I’d be the right therapist for you is for us to schedule a
free 20-minute phone consultation.
My practice is trauma-informed and social justice aligned, and I welcome people of all ethnicities, cultural backgrounds, gender identities, and sexual orientations.
