About me

Life can bring challenges, transitions, and unexpected stressors that can feel overwhelming. You don’t have to navigate them alone. I provide a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where we can work together to understand your struggles, build on your strengths, and create meaningful change. I specialize in supporting individuals coping with anxiety, depression, stress management, ADHD, major life changes, and trauma. My approach integrates evidence-based practices such as CBT, DBT, ACT, EMDR and others tailored to fit your unique needs.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session, we’ll take some time to get to know each other. I’ll ask about what brings you to therapy and what you hope to achieve, so we can create a plan that fits your needs and goals.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Clients often describe me as warm, patient, and understanding. My years of experience working with both children and adults help me quickly identify the root of your challenges and guide you toward meaningful progress.

My treatment methods

Strength-Based

I love helping children and adults to discover and reaffirm the best in themselves in order to see their own value and act upon. This will help them capitalize on their strengths rather than focusing on their negative characteristic.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

CBT approach helps changing thought patterns that leads to anxiety or depression.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

I help clients boost their skills related to accepting past or harmful events by making changes through analyzing their behavior and accepting their feelings to move forward in life.

EMDR

I integrate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) into therapy to help clients process distressing memories, reduce emotional triggers, and build healthier coping patterns.”

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients increase psychological flexibility, reduce struggles with difficult thoughts and feelings, and live more fully in line with their values.”

Alex was very pleasant to speak with and very open with her communication. She seemed empathetic and was able to understand the dynamics of our counseling session. I appreciated her warm friendly intuitions. Looking forward to speaking again soon
