Above all, Alexis believes that healing and growth begin within the counseling relationship, and she strives to walk alongside her clients with empathy, respect, and compassion. She also recognizes that starting counseling can feel overwhelming at times – whether you take the next step with her or another provider, she will be rooting for you as you start this next chapter.
