Alexis uses body-centered practices alongside talk therapy to help people feel less stuck.
Background and approach
She pays attention to how tension and emotion show up in the body and teaches simple ways to calm the nervous system. Sessions mix breathing, grounding, and movement tools with reflective conversation. She draws on attachment-focused work to untangle relationship patterns and to help clients notice how early experiences shape current reactions.
Mindfulness practices are woven in to build awareness and reduce rumination. Internal Family Systems ideas are used to gently map inner parts when that helps clients understand conflicting feelings. Alexis brings four years of clinical experience to each meeting.
She aims to create a predictable, steady pace so people can try new skills without feeling rushed. The tone in sessions is supportive and clear, with practical homework when useful. People come to work on stress, social anxiety, self-esteem, chronic illness adjustment, life purpose, and women’s issues.
She also supports those navigating attachment wounds and the transition into young adulthood. The work is collaborative and paced to each person's needs.
Somatic and Attachment-Informed Online Care
Alexis integrates Somatic Therapy and Attachment-Based approaches into online work to help people feel steadier in their bodies and relationships. Somatic Therapy focuses on noticing physical sensations and gentle regulation techniques to calm the nervous system, which can help with anxiety, chronic pain, and overwhelm. Attachment-Based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current interactions and emotional responses, helping people shift long-standing habits and feel more connected.Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist takes a collaborative stance, listening to goals and trying methods that fit each person’s needs and preferences. Sessions may combine somatic practices, mindfulness exercises, and parts work depending on what is helpful.
Online sessions offer flexible ways to practice these approaches. Video calls let the therapist and client use movement, breathing, and real-time feedback. Phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide alternatives for people who prefer less visual contact or need more frequent check-ins. This range of formats makes it easier to fold therapeutic tools into daily life and adapt work to changing schedules.
