Hello & welcome! My passion lies with assisting individuals who have challenges with anxiety, depression, mood instability, medical trauma, life-transitions, under-controlled and over-controlled traits, women’s health, belongingness, and self-esteem. Through my work-related experiences at 3 residential programs, a non-profit, and private practice, it has truly been a privilege aiding diverse populations. They never fail to show me that no one is too broken, hopeless, or unworthy of having a life that is worth living. As a licensed psychotherapist specialized in adherent DBT, I am intensively trained in all DBT modules, and can provide phone coaching and skills application into therapy, upon availability. I am also trained in RO-DBT, CBT, strength-based therapy, and reality therapy, and utilize these modalities within my daily practice.

Welcome! I'm Alex, and I'm happy you're here. I view counseling as a dynamic process. If one’s humanity can be met with empathy and curiosity, true understanding happens. While we all may seek personal growth, I believe there are many routes and no final destination. Because I value a person-centered approach, I support the connection between the therapeutic relationship and healing. Through embracing your individuality, I strive to honor your unique experiences. From this unconditional regard, I hope my clients will gain freedom to explore their genuine thoughts and feelings. Once we discover our own resilience, it becomes a catalyst for reclaiming our purpose. Together along a shared journey, I offer my clients more aligned ways of being. Empowering you to silence your inner critic, I invite you to replace judgment with awareness. By cultivating self-compassion, we allow ourselves to pursue greater cognitive flexibility and emotional wellbeing. Rather than set unrealistic expectations, we can transform fear, guilt, and shame into a meaningful life story.

Confusing emotions, a general discontentment with life, or a life-changing event can motivate a person to seek counseling. Counseling helps us better understand our emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. A better self-understanding helps us to reconsider our participation in undesired or unhealthy behaviors, improves our self-image, and positions us to engage healthier, more mutually gratifying relationships. Psychotherapy helps us to process or work through traumatic or hurtful experiences and gain insight into unhealthy emotions associated with these experiences. Over time, we can learn healthier ways to engage life and relationships. I counsel individuals (depression, transition, grief and loss, anxiety, substance abuse), couples (relationship, premarital and marital counseling), and groups (life development). My organizational development training allows me to offer consultative services to organizations navigating anticipated and unanticipated transitions and crises. I work well with clients of all cultures and backgrounds. Because of my experience and training, I am particularly effective counseling clients who attempt to embody/express their spiritual, faith, or theological beliefs in their lives and relationships or who attempt to honor certain social ethics, principles, and values in their lives and relationships.

I see adults, and teenagers age 16 and up, for individual therapy and couple's therapy. Whether you’re looking to make a change, connect with yourself, deepen your relationships, overcome roadblocks, or find a sense of purpose, now is the time to invest in yourself. We will slow down and dig into your experience of life, bringing awareness to what is going on in the present moment and what you need to move forward. I believe true healing takes place in the context of connection, and more than any particular technique, my goal is to build a genuine and collaborative therapeutic relationship with you. From this solid foundation, we will uncover old patterns, consider new perspectives, explore new skills, and solidify your values. All with the goal of cultivating a life that is meaningful to you. You already have the inner resources to make this happen, I will guide you through the counseling process.
Experience tells me that most people who seek counseling feel unable to make changes in their life that could bring them greater happiness. I consider it my responsibility and a privilege to facilitate your journey of self-empowerment to make these desired changes. Together we will explore how current patterns of feeling, thinking and acting could be altered by increasing mindfulness and self-compassion. While most of our focus is on the present and future, I also seek to honor your past by exploring how unresolved feelings may be hindering your growth and ability to meet personal goals. Many people who come to me are experiencing anxiety, depression, interpersonal conflict, and decreased self-esteem. It is my belief that these symptoms result from experiencing psychological and physical trauma. Counseling can help resolve psychological trauma and help the body, mind, and heart heal. I'm a Multicultural Feminist who believes we are more than the sum of our parts. I believe that increasing awareness of the roles we play within family, society and self will result in an increased sense of self and self-empowerment. Together we can envision and create change.

Feeling stuck? Wondering why you keep finding yourself in the same struggle, experiencing the same pain or relationship issues, yet again? Or perhaps you feel invisible or unheard, or can't find your own voice? I work with clients to explore how unresolved issues from the past impact the present. In an open and safe environment, we explore authentic feelings and lost aspects of self often censored in general society, toward greater personal insight, growth and change. An accepting and validating therapy relationship can be a key element in the healing of old wounds and opening up of new possibilities. I work primarily from a psychodynamic/psychoanalytic orientation, drawing from attachment theory, object relations, self-psychology, and contemporary relational psychotherapy, to work with the deep long-term wounds, traumas, and patterns that shape self-perceptions and influence current experiences and struggles. I will incorporate other modalities as applicable. I offer Brainspotting, a cutting edge EMDR derivative and neurobiological trauma treatment. I am intensively trained in psychoanalytic theory and practice, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) for Couples. I also bring over 25 years of corporate experience to my understanding of real world problems that clients struggle with.
