Alexis has 15 years of experience between her RN and PMHNP experience in the nursing field. During her time working as a RN at a hospital in Idaho she became disappointed at the lack of access for mental health services to those living in rural areas. This inspired her to return to school and pursue her Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner degree.

Alexis is passionate about treating children and adolescents and believes that early intervention helps children and adolescents to have better outcomes into adulthood.

Alexis believes in taking a holistic approach to mental health. This includes supportive psychotherapy, lifestyle modifications and medication management. Alexis believes that treatment plans should be patient centered and that patients and parents should feel heard and valued on their journey to mental wellness.

Alexis was born in the PNW. Her Grandparents moved to Richland in 1944 for a job with the Hanford project. Both her Grandmother and Grandfather worked on building the community of Richland through serving on various boards in the community such as Hanford and Kadlec. She is excited to be back in this community that her grandparents gave so much of their lives to building and hopes that she too can leave the community a better place to live and raise families.
