My approach to therapy is collaborative: you are the expert in your life, I am the expert in mental wellness, and together we can forge a path forward into a life that is peaceful and meaningful for you. I am passionate about breaking intergenerational trauma and helping people build peaceful families. Families can look like everything from one adult and their beloved yet temperamental Iguana, Harold, to a couple with ten children and six in-laws living in one home. Don't worry if right now your family feels like a total mess. Remember: even a dumpster fire can provide a cleansing flame.

As the owner of Psychological Health Sanctuary, Alexander views clients as the experts of themselves, and clinicians as the experts of theory and application.

Metaphorically, Alexander walks side by side with you on your mental health journey - stepping on the same sticks and stones you do.

Maybe you are dealing with a chronic issue like depression or anxiety and have tried other avenues before. Perhaps you are dealing with or contemplating a major life change. A safe environment and neutral party can help you get your life back on track and reach your goals. I believe that healing and growth is a personal change process that happens in the context of a caring, non-judgmental therapeutic relationship based upon research supported techniques. I will work collaboratively with you to figure out where you want to go and determine the best path to get there.

Through therapy I strive to empower clients to feel safe to open up and work through whatever issues they may be struggling with. I work to understand where clients are coming from and provide the extra support they need. I have a passion for working with a diverse range of clients from elementary school aged children all the way to adults with various presenting concerns. I believe in considering issues from a holistic perspective to inspire positive change.

I don't believe in one-size-fits-all. Everyone is unique and my goal is to work with you to uncover the tools and techniques that will best fit you and assist you in managing your mental health. My diverse background offers multifaceted skills to assist you in reaching your therapy goals.

As a therapist, I can understand the anxiety and fear surrounding your decision to seek therapy for yourself. I would like to partner with you as you navigate your world. As a therapist, I provide an eclectic approach to counseling, with a belief that in order to understand the present, one must understand his or her past. I operate from a strengths-based perspective because I believe both children and adults are resilient and given the right tools, can solve their own problems.

I will provide a compassionate, safe and nonjudgmental environment so that you can move past life’s challenges, develop new coping skills and live a more fulfilling, authentic life.

Are you feeling stressed out and overwhelmed? Seeing a therapist can be scary and takes courage.

By listening to you, reflecting and sharing information we will explore your thoughts, feelings, perceptions, and behaviors in a gentle, safe and understanding environment. I am passionate about helping you think "outside the box" with regard to your personal development to regain confidence and hope.

There are many benefits of counseling. Counseling helps us figure things out; it can help us achieve our goals, and it can help us mend or improve important relationships in our lives. It can help us find reasons to live and new ways to love ourselves, and it can help us learn to cope with what life has handed us or to grieve what has been taken from us. And overall, counseling can offer reassurance that things are going to be ok. There are a number of reasons people just like you come to counseling; struggling in a relationship, family conflict, help establishing boundaries, processing past trauma, or having problems at work.

Part of the success in therapy is your relationship with your therapist. That is why my goal is to create an authentic, genuine, and compassionate space for you to process and work through life's most difficult challenges. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety (OCD, social anxiety, panic disorder, phobias, generalized anxiety), depression, and trauma (sexual, physical, and emotional). I work with children 8 and up, teens, and adults.

I believe we are all inherently capable of change, especially when we acknowledge where we're falling short with our core values. I help guide people to make positive life changes by examining values and setting realistic goals for self-improvement. If you're not looking to set many goals, therapy is also just a safe space to process feelings you wouldn't otherwise process. I have done extensive work with general adult mental health and substance abuse, and I enjoy an integration of various holistic approaches to therapy. I value and respect all walks of life and take a culturally-sensitive approach.
