Hi! My name is Alex. Life is rarely a straight line. It bends, breaks, and sometimes asks more of us than we feel equipped to give. I became a social worker because I believe that no one should have to navigate those moments alone—and because I’ve seen firsthand how transformative it can be when the right support shows up at the right time.

I am a master’s level social worker (MSW) with a focus on supporting adults, older adults, couples, and families. My practice centers on the experiences that tend to quietly reshape us over time: anxiety and depression that can make even ordinary days feel heavy, substance use and the complex relationship we develop with coping, trauma that lives in the body long after an event has passed, and the ongoing work of understanding who we are through major life transitions, relationships, and our own sense of identity. Whether you’re in the middle of a crisis or simply feeling stuck, I meet clients where they are—without judgment and without a predetermined roadmap.

My approach is collaborative at its core. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all model of therapy, which is why I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based practices, and person-centered principles to tailor our work to what actually fits you. CBT and mindfulness-based approaches are particularly well-suited for anxiety, depression, and substance use—helping clients identify patterns, regulate their nervous systems, and build healthier relationships with their own thoughts and behaviors. Sessions feel more like a working partnership than a lecture—I’m curious about your story, your patterns, and what lasting change looks like specifically for you.

What I care most about is helping clients move from surviving to genuinely thriving. That means we work together—building insight, developing practical tools, and strengthening your capacity to handle what life brings. Real change doesn’t happen overnight, but with consistency and the right support, it happens. I’m here for the time it takes with you.

If you’re considering therapy for the first time, returning after a gap, or simply looking for someone whose approach feels like a better fit—I’d welcome the conversation. Reaching out is often the hardest step, and I don’t take lightly the trust it takes to do so.
