Get to know me

I’m Alex & I’m so happy you’re here!

As someone who has been both a client and therapist, I encourage you to tell and develop your ​own story. In my personal and professional life I have witnessed: family struggles, mental illness, ​substance use, domestic violence, trafficking, and grief; and I am a firm believer that this does ​not define you. It takes courage to seek support during difficult times, & I want to help empower ​clients in using their own strengths tp develop skills to foster hope, healing, and resilience.

What is my approach to therapy?

My goal is to create a comfortable space where you feel seen & ​heard, with the lens of knowing you do not need to be “fixed”; but ​supported in becoming your best self. I recognize that you are in ​control of your life and have all of the tools to continue to grow. ​I'm only here to help you uncover them & be in your corner along ​the way. I hope to do this with you in a casual style that feels like ​we are just having a normal conversation. This includes: humor, ​honesty, warmth, & collaboration.

What can you expect to take away from our sessions?

I have worked with high risk populations for the entirety of ​my career and therefore provide a judgment free zone for ​clients to show up as themselves and take whatever they need ​from the session. I use a strengths-based, trauma-informed ​approach to aid clients in taking control back in their lives & ​building it into the goal they have set.
