Great to meet you!

Hello and welcome! I’m Alex, a Licensed Independent Social Worker who focuses on supporting individuals dealing with stress, depression, and anxiety. Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back, discover what sparks your motivation, and develop skills to face the tough moments.

My approach to therapy

My approach is centered on collaboration; I see therapy as a team effort. You’re in the driver’s seat, and I’m here to support you along the way. I combine treatment approaches like CBT and Motivational Interviewing with a focus on your strengths and what truly works for you. Whether it’s shifting stuck thought patterns or finding your own spark to make changes, we’ll work together to find what fits your unique needs.

Above all, I prioritize creating a safe, honest, and compassionate space where you can feel comfortable sharing your experiences without judgment.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, we’ll spend time getting to know each other and understanding what brought you to therapy. I’ll ask about your background, current challenges, and what you hope to achieve. This is your space to share as much or as little as you feel comfortable with.

We’ll also discuss how I work and what you can expect from therapy, so you feel clear and confident moving forward. By the end of our time together, we’ll begin to outline goals and decide on the best approach to support you.
