Hello! I am glad you have found your way here. I am Alex, and I am a complex trauma therapist and a Marriage and Family psychotherapist. I find myself drawn to working at this intersection of the mind-body connection and applying this with trauma-informed parts work to help clients suffering with complex trauma, including sexual trauma and emotional abuse, as well as divorce, LGBTQ+ issues, gender identity, eating disorders, anxiety and depression, self-harm, and relational problems.

Finding a therapist you feel comfortable with and trust can be very challenging. Painful life experiences, past trauma and current situations can cause you to feel stuck, anxious and depressed. You may have noticed changes in your relationships, work, mood or self-esteem. Feeling understood and supported is of highest importance when navigating through life challenges. As such, I am dedicated to protecting your trust and providing you with emotional safety as you undertake the vulnerable yet enriching journey of therapy.

Feeling anxious or overwhelmed? Not sure why you keep repeating behaviors? Are your thoughts on repeat? I use a trauma-informed approach to provide compassionate care and offer an open, judgment-free space. Through cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and other interventions, I work with clients to rewire negative thought patterns and habits, understand their emotions, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and find different perspectives. I also offer low-cost counseling at sliding scale rates to help reduce the barriers to getting support.

My goal is to provide a unique, client-centered approach to each child and family. Contact me today so I can help you and your family get back on track!

Having been trained in a humanistic/holistic model of therapy (Experiential, Gestalt, Psychodynamic, Family Systems), I have adhered to what is now called an “integrative” approach to mental health issues. Specifically, when I engage with a client we focus on the interaction of all the dimensions of his or her life, i.e., biological, psychological, social, behavioral, and spiritual. Subsequently, we embark on an exciting journey together to explore a path that leads to a more optimal state of well-being and a greater sense of wholeness.

It is my hope to be part of your journey toward deeper peace of mind, true health and confidence in managing life challenges. Whether child, teen or adult I hope to meet you where you are to determine what has worked in the past, how your current approach to daily life is working and what approach matches your needs for working toward your best. The goal is also to help determine the generational pieces, attachment styles, personality profiles and cultural background that are vital to you as a person aiming to find your purpose and peace.

As your therapist, it would be a privilege to help you through life's most challenging moments. I like creating a teamwork approach wherein I bring therapeutic knowledge to the session while my client brings self knowledge and the desire to grow. This collaborative approach seeks to help my client learn to learn, live and love the better within themselves.

I see you taking care of everyone around you. Your partner needs you, your kids need you, your boss needs you. But the truth is that you are struggling, and you need to also take care of yourself.
