Everyone deserves to feel at home in their body.

I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+, TGNC/NB and queer identified communities.

Healing can mean many things to many people, whether that’s community, growth, inner peace, recovery, or support. I see healing as an act of liberation. For queer and trans people, it is liberating to show up for our most authentic and embodied selves, and to have our pain, joy, passions, identities, relationships, and journeys nonjudgmentally witnessed. I see therapy as a space to sustainably build a relationship with all parts of yourself, and to feel that you are enough, worthy, and whole in the process. I offer an empathetic, collaborative, and compassionate partnership, where you decide the course of your healing journey.

Therapy for sensitive people who try hard but keep messing up despite the effort, and then feel terrible about it.
You understand the patterns that are keeping you stuck, but trying to think your way out is just winding you tighter. You know you need to "feel your feelings", but you’re left wondering, “How?!”
It is possible to gently change these cycles. You can learn how to build openness and acceptance for your feelings without feeling overwhelmed by them.
I’m Alex - I'm a queer IFS therapist. For many years I had the same experience many of my clients have. Now I help clients get out of those familiar, constricting cycles.

My guiding principle as a therapist is creating inclusive and non-judgmental spaces so that people have the freedom to express themselves, explore their experiences and create authentic connection. I believe that listening is an essential tool in healing and feeling valued. My approach is trauma-informed and client-centered, with an anti-oppression lens. The therapeutic space I create is political. I am committed to the lifelong unlearning of imperial structures that are deeply rooted in mental health, and to supporting people as they unpack how societal and institutional structures have impacted their mental health and wellness.

You are the expert of your own experience and know best what supports you and what may no longer be serving you. In our work together, I will seek to highlight and validate how the social environment and systems have impacted your relationship with yourself and others, and to use the therapy space as an opportunity to dismantle hierarchies. To do this, I use an integrated, person-centered psychodynamic approach grounded in compassion.

There are times in life when the work of being a person in the world can feel utterly unmanageable, if not downright impossible. Therapy should be a place of respite and recovery from these challenges - it is here that we can slow down, process, laugh, cry, heal, and grow. Everyone deserves a therapeutic space where you can be seen in the way you want to be seen, and heard in the way you want to be heard. In my work, I seek to create a collaborative space based on values of affirmation, trust, and compassion, in which we can explore and address the adversity that prevents you from leading the life you want to lead.

Do you struggle to know where you fit? Have you struggled to make sense of your experiences? Or perhaps you've felt a bit alien throughout your life; like it's difficult to connect to others, that others don't understand you or see you how you see yourself. I've been there too. And so have many of my clients. I know what it's like to be in a place where you're searching for answers and a sense of understanding because things just aren't really working for some reason. I'm here to tell you that you aren't alone in that experience. And there are roadmaps to help you move forward.

Studies consistently show that the most important part of effective therapy is a strong relationship between therapist and client.

Together we will explore how different parts of you interact with one another, noticing and appreciating your resiliency, as well as the areas of pain and hurt. We will work together to create more internal harmony, improving relationships with others by starting with your relationship with yourself.

People come to therapy for a variety of different reasons. Some individuals embark on a therapeutic process with specific goals in mind or because they have recently been impacted by particularly challenging life events. Others may pursue therapy and specifically creative arts psychotherapy as an on-going process toward deeper self-knowledge, growth, and healing. I offer individuals and couples an approach that is holistic, client-centered, non-judgmental and creative through traditional talk therapy, creative arts infused therapy, and often a synthesis of the two.

The first real relief I found from my personal struggles came from an art therapy group, thanks both to the members and an unconditionally loving facilitator. It was in that moment that I realized how healing and powerful the right relationships and the right environment can be. More relief and healing came over the years thanks to wonderful counselors and friends as well as meditation, hiking, and an ongoing creative practice which kept me playing and rebuilding a mind-body connection. My own experiences with healing trauma inform the way I work with clients today.

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
The gender of your therapist can matter, depending on your individual comfort preferences and therapeutic goals. While therapy outcomes are often driven by the therapist’s methodology and the strength of the therapeutic relationship, many people feel more at ease working with a therapist who shares or understands their gender identity, which can enhance trust and improve therapy outcomes. For clients who are non-binary or gender-diverse, working with a therapist of a similar identity may reduce the need to explain or justify their experiences and can increase the sense of being seen and understood. This dynamic may be especially important when addressing topics related to gender, sexuality, trauma, or relationships. Ultimately, what matters most is finding a therapist who is respectful and knowledgeable of your identity—regardless of their own gender.
What are the advantages of seeing a non-binary therapist?
Working with a non-binary therapist can offer unique benefits for individuals seeking support around gender identity. Therapists who personally identify as non-binary may bring both professional training and personal insight to their work, creating a therapeutic space that some clients may find more affirming and welcoming. These therapists often have specialized knowledge in areas such as gender-affirming care, gender dysphoria, and navigating family or social acceptance. They may also be particularly skilled in helping clients find additional resources, such as affirming healthcare providers or community-based supports that align with and affirm their identity.
How can I find a non-binary therapist?
The Psychology Today online directory is a helpful tool for identifying therapists who identify as non-binary. You can use filters to search by identity markers as well as by clinical specialty, therapeutic approach, insurance accepted, session costs, and languages spoken to help ensure a good fit. During an initial consultation or early sessions, consider asking about the therapist’s training in gender-affirming care, their experience with LGBTQ+ clients, and their therapeutic approach to identity-related topics. An effective therapist will be open and affirming in their responses. You can also look for credentials or continuing education in areas such as LGBTQ+ mental health, trauma-informed care, and intersectionality.
