About Alexis
She uses a strengths-based perspective to help parents choose tools that fit their family. That means identifying what already works, then adding strategies that match each child’s needs. The goal is to preserve, restore, or rebuild trusting relationships between caregivers and children.
Alexis earned a Master of Social Work from Boston College and has 22 years of experience in many settings. Her background includes acute residential treatment centers, hospitals, schools, and correctional facilities. For more than 15 years she partnered with pediatricians through the Massachusetts Child Psychiatry Access Project at Tufts Medical Center.
While at Tufts she was introduced to the Incredible Years, Triple P, and Positive Discipline curricula, which shape her consulting work with families. She draws on those evidence-based programs to offer concrete parenting techniques and behavior-management plans.
Alexis has worked with people in diverse contexts and uses that experience to tailor approaches to each household. She also speaks from current, hands-on experience as a parent of two young boys, and she aims to help others find workable strategies that fit everyday life.

Evidence-informed approaches and online support for caregivers
Alexis incorporates evidence-based programs such as Incredible Years and Triple P into her practice. Incredible Years emphasizes building positive parent-child interactions, predictable routines, and consistent consequences to reduce challenging behavior. Triple P offers practical parenting strategies and small changes families can use to improve child behavior and family wellbeing. She also draws from Positive Discipline ideas that focus on mutual respect, problem solving, and teaching social skills.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the caregiver to match methods to the child’s age, family routines, and specific goals. Together they decide which techniques to try and how to adapt them over time based on what works in everyday life.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also make it simpler to practice strategies at home between sessions, so caregivers can try techniques in real time and bring back questions for the next meeting.
