About Me
Hello! My name is Alexis, I'm a Clinical Psychologist, and I am so glad that you're here.
If you're tired of struggling with self-doubt, loneliness, avoidance, and frustration that you're not living the life you want to live. If you find yourself withdrawing from activities you used to enjoy, worrying about what others think, going quiet in groups, avoiding social situations, or replaying conversations in your head, therapy can help you respond differently and get unstuck from low mood and social anxiety.
My goal is to help you feel more confident engaging in activities you enjoy, participating in conversations, saying what you're thinking, connecting with others, and being yourself without low mood or anxiety getting in the way.
I have worked with over 200 clients to help them learn different ways to respond to low mood and anxiety, in order to get unstuck from unhelpful patterns.
This is a space where we can normalise our insecurities, our unhelpful behaviours, and our negative, critical or embarrassing beliefs about ourselves without any judgement or blame.
So that you can understand what is keeping you stuck, and use evidence-based strategies and professional support to help you change it.
I work in person (and telehealth), appointments between 9am-5pm Monday to Thursday in Eight Mile Plains as part of the team at My Psych Clinic.
Reaching out and starting therapy takes a lot of courage, but I promise that it's not as scary as it seems (and that I'm a big softie really).
Ready to take the next step? I'm ready when you are.
