Hi, I am Dr. Alix! Thank you so much for meeting me here. Since you’re here, I’d love to share with you a little bit about the work I do.
By title, I am a Clinical Psychologist and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. For me that means I am a therapist in private practice supporting individuals towards feeling steadier and more at ease emotionally and mentally.
Learning has always been a great love of mine and like any life-long learner, I have a few areas of specialization.
First, children! By degree I am a Clinical Child Psychologist. I work with children as young as four through adolescence. I have been working therapeutically with kids for over a decade and it is one of my greatest passions to support little ones as they move through the complexities of life.
Secondly, is my role as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. Somatic Experience (SE) is a trauma healing modality that focuses on restoring and balancing nervous system health. SE focuses on the intersection between our mental and physical states, providing tools and a structure to help our bodies move through the toughest stuff and back towards regulation.
I am also trained in Brainspotting (BSP), a focused treatment that supports the release of neurophysiological sources of emotional and physical pain, trauma, and other symptoms by locating “brain spots” or relevant eye positions.
Lastly, I have immense passion for supporting women on their journeys back to self. As women our identities can often get lost in the shuffle of life. Balancing the needs of everyone around us. I love to help women reclaim their relationship to themselves and find their voice renewed.
Beyond these specialities I utilize a combination of other modalities including psychodynamic psychotherapy, play therapy, mindfulness, grounding, meditation, and CBT. It is my aim that each of my clients receives the support that is best suited to their needs.
I offer a variety of therapeutic services to support children, parents, adolescents, and adults. I specialize in somatic and psychodynamically oriented treatment and incorporate aspects of CBT and mindfulness oriented therapies into my work.
• Child Therapy
• Parent Guidance
• Adolescent Therapy
• Adult Therapy
Energetic healing and guided meditation are services I provide as an alternative route to betterment. Reiki, or universal life force energy, is a powerful tool to bring soothing, calm, clarity, and healing to your being. Energy healing transcends the chaotic, distressed mind to directly deliver you care, love, and support.

In 2021 I wrote a post about what therapists actually do. After years of witnessing nervous glances and obvious discomfort post-job reveal it prompted me to
