Great to meet you!

From childhood through older adulthood, we experience constant seasons of change—whether in school, work, friendships, relationships, puberty, aging, or end of life care. Navigating these transitions can bring feelings of overwhelm, self-doubt, isolation, worry, or sadness. My name is Alex, and I am deeply passionate about supporting young adults, professionals, and working parents as they move through life’s challenges. I take strength-based approach to therapy, helping individuals regain clarity and confidence in their journey.

My approach to therapy

I am currently in the process of becoming EMDR-trained and certified, and I will primarily be using EMDR for training and practice purposes. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a trauma-focused, evidence-based approach that helps individuals process distressing experiences and build resilience.

I also incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (MB-CBT), both of which are evidence-based practices that support emotional regulation, self-awareness, and personal growth.

For me, this work is about more than just therapy—it’s about creating an environment that fosters self-reflection, self-expression, and reconnection with the best version of yourself. I take a holistic approach in my practice, ensuring that each person feels heard, supported, and empowered on their path toward healing and growth.

What you can expect from me

Your first therapy session is a 60-minute intake appointment and can be held through Telehealth. Before your appointment, you’ll be asked to complete a few intake forms so we can spend our time together getting to know you.

During this session, we’ll talk about what brings you to therapy, explore your background, discuss your current concerns, and identify your goals. Together, we’ll create a treatment plan that feels personalized to your needs and supports the changes you’d like to make.
