Grief counselors and therapists in Madison, WI

I offer a unique blend of traditional mental health therapy and holistic approaches, including energy healing and other complementary practices when they align with a client's goals and interests. I believe that beneath life's challenges, past experiences, self-criticism, and the many roles we carry is a deeper, authentic part of ourselves that often gets overlooked or disconnected. My work is centered on helping clients better understand themselves, heal emotional wounds, reconnect with their inner strengths and wisdom, and create a life that feels more balanced, meaningful, and aligned with who they truly are. I strive to provide a compassionate, supportive space where clients can explore both practical solutions and deeper personal growth.

I graduated from UW-Stout in 2020 and had a crash course of therapy during the pandemic. This has allowed me to become a more empatheic and passionate therapist who works hard to support clients through all of life's changes. I specialize in couples and relational work, but also work with indiviudals who are looking to navigate grief, anxiety, life changes, and stress. I support and research women's health, fertility/infertility and treat perinatal mood disorders.

Welcome! Many individuals are afraid to start counseling, unsure of what to expect. I let my clients set the pace, use humor, and build a partnership. Face your fear. Together we can make goals a reality.

Great to meet you!

As your therapist I strive to create a warm, safe, engaging space where we can explore your strengths and build a do-able plan to help get you through the tough spots.

With years of experience in providing compassionate and evidence-based therapy, I am here to support you on your journey toward healing and growth. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor dedicated to helping children, adults, and families navigate life’s challenges.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of Florida with over 20 years of experience in mental health. I am fully bilingual English/Spanish. I grew up in Puerto Rico and move to FL about 30 years ago. I have an intense training and experience in Trauma recovery helping victim of violence, illness or accidents. I also have long years of experience working with grief, relationship issues, mental health afflictions like depression, stress and others. I am also trained and enjoy helping neuro atypical people to develop ways of managing life that can work for them. I can work with all ages 6 and up. I have a certification as child/youth mental health specialist. I enjoy painting and encourage the use of creativity to work through emotional pain.

Hi, I'm Alex! My path into this work began in early childhood development, where I learned just how much our earliest relationships and experiences shape the way we move through the world as adults. That foundation still informs everything I do; I'm endlessly curious about the "why" behind how we feel and behave, and I hold that curiosity with warmth and zero judgment.

Outside of my practice you'll usually find me behind a camera. Photography taught me to slow down and pay attention to small, beautiful details, and to appreciate that the same scene can look completely different depending on where you're standing (a lesson that I find turns out to be pretty useful in therapy as well). I love being out in nature whenever I can and at home I share my space with a cuddly cat who supervises most of my day.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Psychotherapist with experience in individual and group therapy since 2017. My approach is trauma-informed, empowering, and client-centered, tailored to meet the unique needs of adults, children, and families. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, which help clients develop healthier thought patterns, reframe their personal stories, and enhance motivation for change.

With experience supporting individuals facing severe and persistent mental health challenges, as well as those with sexually maladaptive behaviors, I create a safe and supportive space for healing and personal growth. Since opening my private practice in 2023, I have been committed to helping clients build resilience, navigate life’s challenges, and improve their overall well-being.

If you’re looking for a compassionate therapist dedicated to fostering healing and transformation, I would be honored to support you on your journey.

As a Board-Certified Psychotherapist, I believe that prioritizing your mental health is the key to minimizing everyday stressors and maximizing happiness. Pursing help is the hardest part, congratulations on taking the first step! I have been practicing trauma-informed, strength-based modalities for several years. I enjoy working with everyone.
