Alexis, MA, MFT (she/her) is a threshold guide at the intersection of healing and social change. For over twenty-five years, she has supported youth and adults, both individually and in groups, to reimagine relationships and deepen intimacy with themselves, each other, the natural world, and the mystery of life. She integrates depth-oriented practices and frameworks, including depth psychology, somatics, trauma work, mindfulness, ecology, dream work, grief tending, ritual, nature intimacy, equity, and social justice.
Alexis has collaborated with various communities and organizations to foster deep listening, authentic communication, and transformative practices. Her experience spans non-profits, retreat centers, women combat veterans, assisted living facilities, community mental health clinics, schools, juvenile detention centers, homeless shelters, domestic violence shelters, international peace projects, wilderness settings, and private practice.
Her work draws from years of mindfulness practice, her healing journey, anti-racism and anti-oppression frameworks, and a deep connection to nature. Alexis brings presence, compassion, and humor to the human experience. She earned her master’s degree in Depth Counseling Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute and is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. Additionally, she serves as Adjunct Faculty at Antioch University, teaching at the intersection of social justice, psychology, and ecology. A former yoga teacher, truck driver, natural builder, and psychotherapist, she descends from Celtic, Ashkenazi, and Germanic relatives and resides on the Santa Ynez River in Southern California, in the traditional territory of the Chumash people.
