About
Dr. Alois is a warm and compassionate psychologist who specializes in working with adults and college/graduate students struggling with depression, anxiety, complex trauma, life transitions, relationship concerns, and grief and loss.
She works collaboratively with clients to identify unhelpful patterns, work through past issues, and develop more meaningful connections with others.
Dr. Alois is skilled at developing genuine relationships with her clients and providing a safe and supportive environment where clients feel valued, seen, and heard.
Approach to therapy
Dr. Alois believes that everyone has the capacity to heal from the past and live a more fulfilling, meaningful life. Her approach to therapy draws from psychodynamic and attachment theories, and incorporates aspects of cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness techniques.
She meets clients where they are and tailors treatment based on each individual’s needs and goals for therapy. Dr. Alois helps clients to manage current symptoms while exploring past experiences and underlying issues that contribute to a person’s current functioning, sense of self, and how they interact with the world around them.
