Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
I’m Alex, a relational and holistic therapist who specializes in working with professionals and creatives recover from burnout, disconnection, and cycles of self-neglect. I do my best work with individuals who feel overwhelmed by the pressure to perform, who struggle with anxiety, intimacy, or identity, and who are ready to explore their inner worlds with honesty and compassion.
My approach is grounded in deep attunement, curiosity, and care. I draw from parts work, family systems, EMDR, and polyvagal theory to help clients reconnect with themselves, process trauma, and build a more sustainable relationship with their emotions, bodies, and boundaries. I also bring a strong foundation in working with addiction, compulsive behaviors (including porn and sex addiction), developmental trauma, and medical/sexual trauma; especially with those who have felt unseen or misunderstood in traditional spaces.
Psychologist, Psy.D
I provide a warm, safe, and dynamic therapeutic space where my clients can express their innermost thoughts, gain insight, heal wounds, and move toward greater confidence, connection, and joy. With 25 years of clinical and supervisory experience working with both children and adults, I am able to quickly attune to my clients and help them feel understood and at ease. I listen closely and tap into fears, inner conflicts, and dreams while helping people uncover meaningful connections that strengthen their sense of self. While deep inner work takes time, many of my clients begin experiencing relief, clarity, and positive change early in the process.
My work spans the full arc of relationships, including dating, intimacy, attachment, couples and marriage concerns, parenting, separation, and loss. I am a seasoned trauma-informed psychologist with experience helping individuals who have endured emotional, physical, sexual, and narcissistic abuse, and who may be grappling with Complex PTSD, dissociation, depersonalization, nervous system regulation, anxiety, depression, and feelings of meaninglessness.
My background as a university counseling center director, crisis specialist, presenter, consultant, and state board member has also prepared me to work effectively with medical and mental health professionals, as well as those navigating the complexities of management, over-responsibility, vicarious trauma, and life balance. I welcome questions regarding the therapeutic process and the best approach for yourself or a loved one.
