Hi, I'm Alexcis! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I help people who long to feel stable and content. In working with clients I find that we all want to be physically, and emotionally healthy but hold ourselves back due to past and present difficulties. These barriers, keep us from moving forward and accomplishing our goals. Living a life of values does not guarantee a stress-free easy life. It can however help get through the tough times by keeping us on track to accomplish our goals. Life is hard and full of stress. I believe that through self-compassion, values, mindfulness, and a desire for something better will lead to a meaningful life. Please message me so that we can get scheduled to start your journey.

Graduated with a Masters in Clinical Mental Health counseling in May 2018. The counseling process can be difficult. My work experience in helping professions, coupled with my education, and experience I have gained through different populations, have prepared me to connect in an authentic way. Finding meaning and purpose in our lives can be difficult to navigate alone. Having someone to help process the anxiety that life brings can be life changing. Finding your coping mechanisms and awareness of your strength can help you connect with your emotions. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, existential angst, identity formation, communication issues, children, adolescents, couples, groups, probation, and prison populations.

I am a semi-retired Professional Counselor working two days a week (Mondays and Wednesdays, sorry for any inconvenience) assisting clients in resolving stress and anxiety, self-esteem, anger, resentment, and guilt issues. Do you ever think to yourself, “I’m disappointed with myself; I wish I felt better about myself, I’ve lost myself in this relationship” or “I’m not good enough?” You know this struggle isn’t necessary because you also have times when you are very pleased with yourself, and satisfied with your decisions and actions. Both your failures and successes often result from the beliefs that you have about yourself; what we call identity or self-concept. Your self-concept directs your behaviors towards who you believe you are. Imagine what it will be like with a sense of self that is accurate, durable and positive. You will experience more kindness and compassion towards yourself and at the same time not lose yourself in important relationships. Become the person you want to be - learn a series of simple steps that will strengthen the qualities in yourself that you like, and change the qualities that you don’t like, so that you can have a much better and more satisfying life. I look forward to assisting you in this journey
