Alvinette received her Bachelors in Psychology from the University of Missouri- St. Louis with an emphasis in trauma and her Master’s in counseling from Missouri Baptist University. She strives to create a comfortable and safe space for clients to express their feelings, free of shame and judgment to an unbiased person who can offer feedback that promotes healing, restoration, and understanding.

Using a collaborative, client-centered approach that integrates various treatment techniques (e.g. Solution Focus, CBT, integrative), Alvinette helps clients build strength and meet life challenges. Alvinette works with adolescents, young adults, individuals, couples, and families on a number of issues: anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma, school issues, and adjustment to other adverse life events. She believes a change in thought creates a change in behavior.

Alvinette enjoys visiting museums, seeing plays, reading, traveling, and spending time with family when she has free time.
