If you're here, something in your life may feel heavy, confusing, or stuck. Perhaps you're navigating a difficult transition, struggling in relationships, carrying unresolved trauma, or feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or depression. You don’t have to navigate it alone. I work with individuals, couples, and families who are ready to better understand themselves, strengthen their relationships, and move toward a more grounded and fulfilling life. Therapy with me is a collaborative process—one where you will feel supported, challenged in meaningful ways, and empowered to create lasting change.

My approach is simple. I see my role as a partner in a process that is the pursuit of healing and restoration. While I have certain professional expertise, every client is an expert about his/her/their own life. I am intentionally client-centered, strengths based and trauma-informed. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as my primary means of intervention which includes an eclectic blend of Brief Solution Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Humanistic and other modalities. Assigned homework is common and clients participate in the development of activities that support clearly identified treatment plan goals.

Problems with sexuality can create anxiety, fear, shame, guilt, depression, or low self-esteem. If there are issues with sexual performance, sexual trauma, low sexual desire or satisfaction, premature ejaculation, sexual behaviors, sexual identity, or any sexual frustrations, you may feel disconnected from yourself and others. You are the incredible artist of your story, I serve as the nonjudgmental canvas. Sex is meant to be a beautiful expression of self, attraction, and desires. Together, we will explore experiences, thoughts, or behaviors that prevent you from living a sexually satisfying existence.

I often attract the overachievers, the go-getters, the ones who have learned that things could have been better in their childhood and want to do differently (the change makers!). Oftentimes with overachieving and go getting is people pleasing, earning your worth by doing, and perfectionism. I often attract clients who are brave, courages and ready for change, ready for authenticity, ready to feel empowered and increase their self worth. I often attract clients like... you! You're searching for a therapist who will nurture and challenge you..be your biggest advocate and keep you grounded when things seem out of control..

Ultimately, you likely want to experience some new understanding or growth. In therapy, we will come to understand your symptoms as signals and we will make space for your core yearnings and your meaningful process. My aim is to help you clear your path towards thriving outside of therapy room.

Welcome to your healing journey. If you have made it this far, you have already displayed an immense amount of courage. Courage is the first step that I find to be extremely important in therapy and to quote Tori Amos, “Healing takes courage, and we all have courage.” My name is Alex, and while therapy is all about you and your needs, one of your needs is a therapist who allows you to be your true authentic self, even on the days it’s hard. My hope for you as a therapist is to help you discover the goals, skills, and needs required to make your everyday life as easy as possible.

I am an ABPP certified psychologist providing evidence-based psychotherapy to people ages 17+.

No two people are the same- not even two therapy sessions, with the same person, are the same. So, describing what therapy is like with me on a web site is a little like describing what "all rivers" look like. What I can say is I will prioritize that you are heard, valued, and encouraged, and I will collaborate with you on what works best for you-whether that's finding strategies to cope with something current or finally addressing a concern that has developed over time. I will also met you with integrity and offer you the best of who I am and what the field of psychology has to offer.

Our histories and experiences have an impact on each and every one of our relationships. Gaining a broader understanding of just how they have shaped us can be a significant component of developing and sustaining mutually satisfying relationships. With more than a dozen years of experience working with couples and families I focus primarily on relationship dynamics including marital enrichment, conflict resolution, parenting skills and behavioral problems. Additionally, I work with a broad range of mental health related concerns including anxiety, stress management, depression, grief, trauma, and various comorbidities.

Are you going through the motions in your life? As if a piece of your puzzle won’t fit, no matter how much you force it? Do you struggle with feelings of guilt, shame, or fear from a painful or traumatic experience you have had? Maybe you’ve tried talking about it with friends and loved ones—possibly even a psychotherapist or two—but you can’t seem to find a path that leads to feeling whole. For many, this can be an overwhelmingly isolating experience.

I provide a grounding environment for people who have been in survival mode and are craving self acceptance. I help individuals and couples build awareness and develop skills to help them experience their lives and relationships more fully.
Many of my individual clients have learned to cope with challenging relationships, trauma, or stressors by trying to control the uncontrollable or by shutting themselves off from the world around them. As a couples therapist, I believe that emotional connection is the key to creating a secure relationship base that offers resilience in the face of miscommunication and conflict.

Sometimes life can leave you feeling unseen, unheard, or as if you’re not enough. Anxiety, relationship challenges, neurodivergence, or low self-esteem may make it difficult to feel grounded and connected. You don’t have to carry this alone. In our work together, I offer a compassionate and supportive space where all parts of you are welcome — the tender, the uncertain, and the strong. Therapy is not about fixing you, because you are not broken. Instead, it’s about gently uncovering your strengths, understanding the patterns that no longer serve you, and learning to meet yourself with kindness and clarity.

Are you familiar with the song performed by Diana Ross from "Mahogany" in 1975, "Do you know where you're going to? Do you know the things that life is showing you - Where are you going to? - Do you know...?"
When people struggle and are overwhelmed by challenging events (past or present), confusing feelings, and painful thoughts, it is helpful to have a confidential, objective, experienced guide to sort through all this. Everyone encounters change and loss in love and work. I can accompany you in discovering your unique path towards healing and new meaning.

Hi there! My name is Emily and I primarily work with adolescents, young adults navigating their 20's "Quarterlife", and other adult populations. Those that I work with have been impacted by various forms of adversity, loss, and long-term stress. To be a bit more specific, I particularly enjoy working with populations of folks who are in need of learning how to set boundaries and speak up for themselves, are curious to learn more about how experiences in their families of origin impact their present-day experiences, have experienced grief from the loss of a loved one, and are going through a variety of life transitions and stressors.

I enjoy working with people ready to create stronger skills for improving their mood, creating effectiveness in their lives, and growing better relationships. As these goals can feel like a big undertaking, I strive to create a collaborative working relationship that remains focused on your priorities and what genuinely works for you. You will find me to be non-judgmental, caring, and authentically interested in you. It can be scary and uncomfortable to reach out, but the alternative is staying the same. Change is possible.

I am a warm, caring therapist with a direct style. I believe that we are capable of much more than we oftentimes give ourselves credit for; an experienced ear and fresh perspective can help make the difference between simply surviving and thriving. It would be my honor to help you achieve more. I love helping people who are going through a life transition---divorce, new relationships, graduations, breakups, death, family conflict, coming to terms with troublesome histories and job changes are all times with the potential for great pain and struggle as well as remarkable growth.
