ABOUT ME

Hello! I'm Alexis. I'm a clinical therapist with over a dozen years in the game. When I'm not doing virtual therapy, you can usually find me outdoors, with my hands in potting soil, or doing something active. I am a native of Myrtle Beach, SC and take full advantage of spending time at the beach and with my big family. 

I am passionate about empowering individuals like you to reach their highest potential and live a fulfilling life. With a background as a mental health and integrative medicine provider, health coach, and educator, I bring a unique blend of expertise, compassion, and practical guidance to support you on your journey of personal growth and transformation.

Throughout my own life, I have experienced the power of self-discovery and personal development. I understand the challenges and setbacks that can hold us back from living our best lives, and I have made it my mission to help others overcome those obstacles and achieve their goals.

 

My therapy philosophy is rooted in the belief that everyone has innate strengths and limitless potential waiting to be unleashed. By partnering with you in a thought-provoking and creative process, I will help you gain clarity, set meaningful goals, and develop the necessary strategies to turn your dreams into reality.

With love:
Alexis

Therapy... 

finding the right fit is key. 

no one wants to do it

My thoughts on therapy

Experiencing a range of emotions is normal, including difficult times. Therapy offers a safe space to explore thoughts, behaviors, gain support, learn coping strategies, set goals, and gain new perspectives. A strong connection with the therapist is vital for successful sessions, where openness and willingness to try new approaches lead to positive outcomes.

 

My greatest joy as a mental health provider is witnessing the positive transformations my clients experience. Guiding you towards greater self-awareness, confidence, and fulfillment is not just my profession—it's my passion. I am here to provide unwavering support, encouragement, and accountability as you navigate your personal journey and embrace the incredible possibilities that lie ahead.

Together, let's embark on a remarkable adventure of self-discovery, growth, and achievement. I am excited to be your partner on this transformative path, and I can't wait to witness the extraordinary progress you will make.

what to expect

My therapy style is compassionate, collaborative, and outcome-focused, meaning my goal is to help you find relief for your struggles and achieve your goals. As a team, we will work together to tailor a treatment plan that meets your needs.

​​

Expect an energetic and genuine experience in working with me, where we may share laughs, perhaps shed a tear, and/or have an “ah-ha” moment. I intend for you to walk away feeling heard, supported, and to have a tangible goal established to help you gain the outcome you are seeking.​

​​

If you're reading this, I honor the courage it took to take the first steps toward change. And I am delighted at the opportunity to take part in your journey toward a happier, more fulfilling life.​

Let's do this!
