Hi, I’m Alex, a Doctor of Social Work and Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience. I specialize in helping clients overcome stress, trauma, and burnout, guiding them toward more meaningful, fulfilling lives. With nearly a decade of experience in tech and related industries, I understand the unique pressures of fast-paced, high-demand environments and can help you find balance and thrive. I blend proven traditional therapies with innovative approaches, including medication and psychedelic-assisted therapies when appropriate. Having traveled to over 70 countries, my culturally informed approach ensures that therapy is tailored to your unique background and experiences.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we’ll take time to get to know each other and explore your goals for therapy. I’ll ask about your background, current challenges, and what you hope to achieve. This is also a great time for you to ask any questions about how we’ll work together, and we’ll begin creating a personalized plan to help you reach your goals.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strength lies in creating a compassionate, non-judgmental space where clients feel seen and understood. I tailor my approach to meet each client’s unique needs, blending different therapeutic methods to encourage deep, meaningful change. By focusing on your strengths and resilience, I help you take an active role in your healing process.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I work best with clients who are ready to engage in self-reflection and personal growth. My ideal clients are motivated, open to exploring their emotions and behaviors, and committed to applying what we discuss in therapy to their everyday lives. Together, we’ll take a collaborative approach, focusing on addressing your mental health needs and working towards meaningful change.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
With over 15 years of experience in CBT, I’ve helped countless clients understand how their thoughts shape their anxiety, depression, and other challenges. Together, we’ll work in a collaborative and supportive environment to develop practical tools to reduce stress and help you feel more in control of your life.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I specialize in mindfulness-based therapy, and I guide clients in building awareness and emotional resilience. By integrating meditation, breathing exercises, and other mindfulness techniques, I help reduce stress and improve emotional well-being. Clients can expect to incorporate these strategies into their daily lives to experience long-lasting benefits.
Trauma-Focused CBT
I use Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) to help clients heal from various forms of trauma, whether it's a single event, complex trauma, or generational trauma. Through a trauma-informed approach, we’ll work together to reframe negative thoughts, manage distress, and restore a sense of safety and control in your life.
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured therapy that helps individuals process and heal from distressing memories and traumatic experiences. It uses guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation to reduce the emotional intensity of these memories, allowing the brain to reprocess them in a healthier way. EMDR is often used to treat trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and other mental health concerns. This evidence-based approach helps clients gain relief from emotional pain and move toward recovery.
