My name is Alex, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW/LMSW) with 7 years of experience in the mental health field. I received my master’s degree in social work at UTSA. My practice focus is with individuals, couples and adults/elderly looking for support. I like helping individuals manage emotional challenges of any trauma, bipolar, schizophrenia, depression; anxiety; relationship issues; adult ADHD; work issues, self-esteem issues, chronic illness, and adjustment to change. I have worked with Individuals and families for more than 15 years and 7 specifically on mental health (outpatient/Inpatient). I am an empathetic clinician who believes in change through a therapeutic alliance between therapist and client.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I have been working with Individuals and families for the last 15 years and the last 7 specifically in a mental health setting. Having worked with young and older adults for so many years, I've developed a tried-and-true playbook for helping you (a) identify the root cause of your challenges and (b) create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I love working with young and older adults who are experiencing depression, abandonment issues, anxiety, low self esteem, trouble interacting with others or having trouble with their current life situation in general. My clients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious about their current life situation.
