Hi, I’m Alex! (she/her) I work with teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, identity exploration, eating disorders, and major life transitions. I’m LGBTQ+ affirming and trauma-informed. In therapy, my goal is to show up as a real human- empathetic, down-to-earth, and ready to hold space for whatever you’re carrying. I became a therapist because I care deeply about people feeling truly seen and supported, especially during the hardest times. You don’t have to go through pain alone, and you definitely don’t have to pretend to have it all together here.
I believe in normalizing mental health struggles and creating a space where you can be messy, honest, and fully yourself. I’m not here to “fix” you. I’m here to build a genuine, no-judgment relationship where you feel safe, understood, and maybe even laugh a little along the way.
Clients often tell me they appreciate that I’m both gentle and real- someone who can sit with the tough stuff and help you move forward, without pressure or pretense. If you feel like my approach is a good fit for you, feel free to reach out! And if you’re lucky, one of my five pets might cameo on telehealth sessions (HIPAA compliant, of course) :) :)

I work with teens and adults as a steady ally to the queer community and those healing at any size. My style is laid-back but focused- like chatting with a friend who listens, doesn't judge, and helps you move forward. I'm here for the messy, the meaningful, and everything in between.
