Hi, I'm Alex! I believe therapy should be a place where you feel comfortable showing up exactly as you are. My goal is to create a warm, supportive, and collaborative space where you can explore life's challenges without fear of judgment. I specialize in working with adults who are experiencing anxiety, stress, and life transitions, using evidence-based approaches that are tailored to your unique needs and goals. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, adjusting to a major life change, or simply looking for extra support, we'll work together to better understand what's getting in the way and help you move toward the life you want to live. Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and I'm honored to be part of that journey. My hope is that you'll leave each session feeling heard, supported, and empowered with tools to navigate life's ups and downs with greater confidence.
The first therapy session can feel nerve-wracking, and that's completely understandable. My goal is to create a welcoming, comfortable environment where we can balance the practical details with getting to know you and what has brought you to therapy. Our first session is simply a conversation. We'll talk about what's been going on, what you're hoping to gain from therapy, and what your goals are moving forward. Together, we'll begin creating a plan that feels meaningful and realistic for you. My hope is that you'll leave our first session feeling heard, understood, confident in our path forward, and hopeful about what's possible.
I strive to create a warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable sharing even the most difficult thoughts and emotions. My approach is collaborative and supportive—I ask thoughtful, reflective questions, help you identify unhelpful patterns, and work alongside you to develop practical strategies that fit your life. Therapy isn't about having all the answers; it's about creating a space where you can better understand yourself, build resilience, and move toward meaningful change. My hope is that you'll leave each session feeling calmer, supported, and more confident in your ability to navigate life's challenges.
My ideal client is someone navigating a major life transition and looking for support along the way. Whether you're starting school, changing careers, becoming a parent, navigating a divorce, grieving a loss, or adjusting to another significant life change, these experiences can bring stress, uncertainty, and overwhelm. Together, we'll create a space to process what you're going through, build healthy coping strategies, and help you feel more grounded and confident as you move forward.
Other specialties
I identify as
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT helps identifying and adjusting negative thought patterns that may be contributing to unwanted feelings.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness is gaining awareness of your body and mind in the present without judgement. I use relaxation and grounding techniques to assist with emotional regulation.
Strength-Based
You possess so many strengths already. I like to identify these strengths, help you understand them, and use them to your full advantage.
Psychoeducation
Knowledge is power. I'll help explain how stress, anxiety, emotions, and life experiences can affect the way we think, feel, and respond to challenges. Understanding what is happening in our body and mind can help us feel less overwhelmed and allow for more self-compassion.
