I am flexible to accommodate most schedules.

I enjoy working with people to explore life experiences and identify past trauma that may be preventing them from living their best life.

Hi and welcome! My name is Alex and I’m a Provisionally Licensed Mental Health Practitioner (PLMHP) in the State of Nebraska. I am accepting new clients, have immediate openings, and have a variety of times to choose from, including Saturdays! I received my Master’s Degree in Counseling at Crown College! From as long as I can remember, I knew I wanted to help others. Therapy should be a safe place where you can be yourself without judgement, and I strive to provide that environment for all of my clients. I use a person-centered approach and meet clients where they are at and help them grow to achieve their goals.

Finding a therapist that is right for you amongst the sea of biographies can be daunting and finally getting in and seeing if it’s a good fit can be even more frustrating. My style is relational, straightforward, and personalized to each client’s needs. I want you to feel comfortable advocating for yourself and for the direction of your treatment. My belief is that you are the expert on yourself and I am privileged to be a part of the process. While I wish that I could promise a “Goodwill Hunting” moment every session, I CAN promise that I will work alongside you as your ally every step of the way.

Therapy can be a daunting process at first, but I applaud all those who are looking here and willing to take that step! It is my mission to help people from all backgrounds to feel empowered and have the tools to take control of their lives and emotional well-being. I believe that in order to achieve full person health, mental health cannot be ignored. I strive to establish and maintain a therapeutic relationship with all my clients and provide a safe space for you to voice your concerns and help you feel confident in achieving your goals. I am empathic, honest, and driven to support you in your journey.

Thank you for making you and your mental health and wellbeing a priority. Sometimes that first step is the hardest to take. During difficult and challenging times people just want to be heard and validated in their experiences. Your feelings and experiences are 100% valid and I am here to help support you toward healthy change. Seeing a therapist can be intimidating, but I want you to rest assured knowing that my objective is to foster a safe, judgement free space where we can work together to build upon your strengths and accomplish your goals.

Life can be so hard sometimes. Things happen that are unexpected, and we are left searching for answers or trying to cope. Many people feel they have to go through this alone or don't know how to reach out for help. My goal as a therapist is to help give you and/or your child that support you need in a caring and non-judgmental way. Going to therapy can be very scary at first and I will do my best to help you feel comfortable and cared-for from the very beginning.

Our journey forward is within us. I will assist with the facilitation of you becoming more self-aware so you can be empowered to fully live life. The journey of healing is not an easy one but through compassion and no judgment, I will earn your trust to hear your story. I am culturally well rounded as well and can relate to issues of navigating through life at an intersection of multiple cultures as an African immigrant woman. My work experience also includes working with and doing advocacy work for victims of sexual assault and domestic violence.

Have you done a self check-in lately? I am here to help you make sure that you are finding the right balance, so you are not sacrificing your own needs. Let's work together so you feel you are worthy and deserving of the energy and support you give others.

I love to work with ALL couples who are experiencing relationship conflicts (including LGBTQIA2S+), families who need additional supports for parenting help, adolescents, younger adults, those in college and who are navigating changes, military personnel, and those looking to process any experienced trauma.
