I approach therapy from a collaborative and compassionate perspective, always honoring the courage it takes to acknowledge and share your pain and struggles. Together, we will work in therapy to solve your problems, confront conflicts, and make affirming choices that lead to a healthier lifestyle. I help clients see their inner strengths and abilities, and use them to navigate painful issues. Additionally, I assist clients in identifying maladaptive patterns that keep them stuck, and empower them to learn new perspectives and strategies that move them forward toward a more balanced life.

Each of our lives contain periods of both great suffering and great joy. Most of these experiences are unpredictable and beyond our control, but there are resources that can help us reduce our emotional suffering and experience more wellbeing. My hope is to provide a gracious space for clients to authentically navigate the complexities of life and to support them as they access their own inner wisdom. This work often requires sifting through messages we have internalized over the years. I’m here to support my clients in this discovery and healing process and to help them develop concrete resources to utilize in real life.

Growing up, mental health is not something I heard of or talked about often. Being raised Mexican for me meant that the chances of having a conversation about mental health was not likely, much less learning how to express my emotions and stress in healthy ways. The older I get, the more I learn, the more people I meet--the more I strive to help bring mental health awareness and education to not only the Latinx community but to anyone willing and ready to learn.

I am passionate about walking alongside my clients and helping them move toward greater emotional health and well-being. Many of us experience times when we need extra help and support to move forward in our lives. Often we can get stuck in unhealthy thought and behavior patterns and need someone to guide us through the process of changing those patterns. My goal is to create a safe setting in which we can explore together the areas in your life where you may feel stuck or dissatisfied.

I believe that change best occurs in the context of an open, trusting relationship. Therapy is a collaborative relationship in which we work together to address the issues that you are struggling with. Together, we will identify your feelings, thoughts, and dynamics that are impacting your life. We will work together to meet your goals in pursuit of a purposeful and rewarding life.

Even when you are feeling stressed, worried or depressed it can be hard to reach out for help. I offer experience in therapy to help individuals and families facing difficulty with depression, anxiety, parenting stress, and ADHD. I also offer a safe place to address concerns related to identity development, life transitions, stress management, and other issues. Even though your problem may be similar to others' your experience is unique. I hope to learn about the unique personal, family and cultural circumstances that impact you to help you find your way.

Hey there! My name is Alex. Life can be a tricky journey, sometimes it is full of excitement and fun, and other times it can really be tough. I don't believe we were created to walk this life alone, especially through those difficult moments. That's where therapy comes in. To be honest with you, I don't have the power to change you and that is not my goal. My job as a therapist is to come alongside you and help you rediscover yourself and your potential. With a greater understanding of who you are and where you have been, comes the opportunity for change to create a new normal.

No matter what your current challenges and needs are, we can work together to establish realistic goals for therapy that will help move you toward creating the life and relationships you want.

I enjoy making a connection with children and building trust with them through empathy, compassion, and education. We are then able to develop a relationship where I can help that child make a positive change in their thinking and behavior. I work collaboratively with parents and teachers to help facilitate these changes in the home and school environment. As both a school social worker and clinical therapist, I bring years of experience to help your child develop the skills necessary to overcome their individual challenges. I look forward to working with you!

I understand that you’ll likely come to counseling with some hesitations and questions. This is completely normal, and I welcome your thoughts! I believe that counseling is most effective when it's a collaboration between the us and when your story takes center stage. Whatever symptoms you may be experiencing, we'll get curious about how those symptoms are signaling your deeper desires and needs. The goal is not just symptom relief, but also to discover meaning, spark purpose, and cultivate a deep appreciation for your whole life story. Because we're a team, I'll value your voice in the goals, values, and pace of our time together.

Psychologist, PsyD

I have been in clinical practice for close to 20 years. I have enjoyed working with children, adolescents, and adults as they identify and overcome the barriers that impede their ability to experience wellness and life satisfaction. These barriers range from relational and life transition concerns to significant health issues such as depression and anxiety.
My therapy approach is holistic and collaborative. Together we identify and address the impact of potential contributors to current concerns. These could be past hurts/traumas, biological or hormonal imbalances, current social supports and outlets, as well as spiritual concerns.

I enjoy treating individuals who feel "stuck" in their lives. There are many obstacles in life that create dismay and life dissatisfaction including phase of life issues, grief and loss, issues with intimacy and attachment, career dissatisfaction, unresolved family of origin issues and impulsive/compulsive coping behaviors to name a few. I enjoy helping people getting back to thriving and feeling generally content with themselves and their lives.

Are you finding yourself feeling unable to cope with the challenges of day to day life, job stress, divorce, family strain, relationship problems, and/or symptoms of depression and anxiety? Seeking out brief solution focused therapy is sometimes a great way to refocus and get back on track. Therapy does not need to be long term. Therapy can focus on the here and now while using the past to connect the dots to today's struggle. Therapy is an investment in yourself, your family and your future.
