Great to meet you!

Hello, I’m Alex, a Colorado-located counselor and art therapist! I specialize in OCD, anxiety, depression, women’s issues, grief/loss, and alternative/ENM/CNM relationships. I serve many populations and am passionate about working with LGBTQ+ folks. I believe that each person holds the answers to their questions, but I can serve as a tool in helping you define and actualize your values. Let's partner up to build your journey of self-discovery and understanding, and create narratives that grow your ability to love yourself and your life.

My approach to therapy

I have an upfront and honest approach to therapy, where our sessions look like a conversation of getting us closer to the truth about YOU. I'm also passionate about teaching evidence based skills and tools to work into your daily life. The more we understand what’s going on, the more equipped you are to make choices about what you want and who you want to become!

What you can expect from me

Our first session will look like a conversation about getting to know you and defining what your life will look like once you begin to feel better! That way, we'll start to build a picture of what you want to change, and how to get you there. We'll set some goals and start working toward them as a team.
