About Alexis - Therapy for Women in Midlife

Helping Women Navigate Life's Transitions with Clarity and Confidence

How I Can Support You

I know the mental load women carry. As a mom and clinician, I offer a space where you can show up just as you are—supported, not stretched thin.

  • Life Transitions

Navigating career shifts, motherhood, caregiving, perimenopause & menopause, identity shifts, and rediscovery

  • Anxiety & Stress Management

    Learning to slow the racing thoughts, regulate your emotions, and reconnect to calm

  • Relationship & Family Dynamics

    Setting healthy boundaries, improving communication, and creating emotional safety

  • Self-Esteem & Confidence

    Loosening the grip of self-doubt, perfectionism, and burnout so you can trust your inner voice again

Why I Get It

You’ve been the one holding it all together—at work, at home, in your relationships. But now something feels different. Maybe it’s anxiety, burnout, a sense of disconnection. Maybe you’re quietly asking, Is this all there is?

You don’t have to keep going alone.

Here’s why I understand what you’re going through—and how I can help.

  • Bicultural Perspective

    I understand the push and pull of cultural expectations, identity, and self-worth. Therapy with me honors all of who you are.

  • Dual-Career Household Insight

    I get the invisible labor of juggling work, caregiving, and your own emotional needs. We’ll create space for you—the part that often gets left behind.

  • Business and Leadership Experience

    Before becoming a therapist, I spent 15+ years in marketing and nonprofit leadership. I know the stress, ambition, and emotional cost of high achievement.

  • Former School Counselor

    I’ve worked with children and families through big transitions. That experience deepened my understanding of parenting stress, emotional development, and generational dynamics.

  • Mom and Therapist

    I know the mental load women carry. As a mom and clinician, I offer a space where you can show up just as you are—supported, not stretched thin.

My Approach

Therapy with me is warm, collaborative, and deeply attuned to your lived experience. We move at your pace—gently unpacking what's been weighing on you and building emotional resilience with practical tools.

I draw from evidence-based approaches like:

  • CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) – for shifting anxious thought patterns

  • Psychodynamic Therapy – to explore the deeper emotional roots

  • Mindfulness and Solution-Focused Therapy – to bring relief into the present

  • AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy) – for emotional healing through safe, connected experiences

    But beyond techniques, therapy with me is about connection. Feeling seen. Finding space to breathe. Building clarity, not just coping skills.

Culturally Responsive, Empowering Care

As a bilingual therapist (Spanish/English), I offer therapy that honors your culture, history, and voice. Whether you’ve been navigating life between two worlds or just feel like no one fully “gets it,” this is a space where your full self is welcome.
