I'm Alej, a psychotherapist and AAMFT Approved Supervisor-in-Training. I believe that therapy isn’t just talking. It’s an act of resistance in how showing up for it means we want more for ourselves. To be able to think and behave in ways that enrich our lives, our communities, and our sense of purpose. Whether family stress, political and environmental anxiety, or holding on to negative self beliefs: My clients are interested in figuring out how to have full and rich relationships, experiences, and live in a way unique to their own identities. Our work is to move toward lasting change that feels right for you.

I'm here to support you in ways that are unique to your needs, your story, and your beliefs. Some of the ways I support Wisconsin and Madison-area clients includes identity exploration and integration, distress tolerance, strengthening of self-concept, emotions processing, mind-body awareness, communication, boundary setting, and more.

You are important. You are the only you. That's worth claiming. Through the gentle building of trust, my hope is to support you in being seen and understood in a way that opens up the possibility of knowing yourself more fully. I invite you to reach out for a free consult to explore how I might be of help.

I work from narrative and collaborative therapies, which we'll use to explore your story, identity, and world view. My practice is rooted in feminism, restorative and non-disposability practices, harm reduction, and anti-punitive/anti-oppressive approaches. I aim to be gentle and gingerly when it most matters, while also noticing the moments where directness and deliberate action is needed.
