Meet Alex

My approach is warm, supportive, and collaborative. I believe meaningful change happens when you feel genuinely heard and understood, and that therapy should be a place where you feel supported, challenged, and occasionally able to laugh. I work with adults navigating anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, and life transitions, and I use evidence-based approaches and tailor treatment to your unique needs, helping you identify patterns and build practical coping skills. I believe therapy should feel like a conversation rather than a lecture, and I strive to create a space where you feel comfortable being yourself.

My style is client-centered and focused on affirming the client's strengths, reframing negative or challenging thoughts, and guidance towards goal achievement.
