Hello, I am Alex. I am dually licensed as a Clinical Mental Health Counselor and Addictions Specialist. My clinical experience includes assessment and diagnosis, crisis intervention, severe and persistent mental illness, substance use, and system of care coordination.
I specialize in providing services to the adolescent and emerging adult populations. My work with clients consists of a trauma-informed approach through person centered, solution-focused brief, and motivational interviewing techniques. I am experienced in treating emotional dysregulation, anger, interpersonal issues, familial discord, and suicidality/safety. I value an open, collaborative yet direct approach to mental healthcare - with healthy humor when appropriate.
During session, we will work together to understand and address how situations you are navigating impact your sense of self, emotional wellbeing, and relationships. I welcome you to set the pace of therapy at your comfort level. Together we will define and work towards what positive mental health means for you.
