Welcome to a journey of self-discovery and growth, where empowerment and transformation are at the heart of our work together. I am deeply committed to guiding you along this path, supporting you every step of the way as you navigate challenges such as anxiety, grief, self-worth, and trauma. My approach to counseling is rooted in empowerment, collaboration, and empathy. I believe that each individual possesses a unique set of strengths and resources that can be harnessed to overcome obstacles and create positive change in their lives.
Having 25 years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor, I bring a compassionate, client-centered approach to therapy. I specialize in working with adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, life transitions, and trauma. My goal is to create a safe and supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to move forward.
I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling from the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh, earned in 2001. Over the years, I’ve helped individuals from diverse backgrounds gain insight, build resilience, and develop practical tools for lasting change. My approach integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), person-centered therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), allowing me to tailor treatment to your unique needs and goals.
Clients often describe me as warm, down-to-earth, and easy to talk to. I believe therapy is a collaborative journey, and I’m here to walk alongside you every step of the way.
Life is hard, but finding the right therapist shouldn't be! In my practice, I strive to make strong, authentic connections with the people I see to support them in their healing and growth. I take a person-centered and relationship-based approach, utilizing action- and insight-based interventions to help you better understand yourself, life, and take steps towards peace, safety, and happiness. I am a good fit for those looking for empathetic support, to build insight, and to grow and become the best version of themselves.
I am able to evaluate and make diagnoses, and/or support existing diagnoses and work with you for a 'best-fit' solution to your needs. So any come from a past of being told they are 'X, Y, Z" and often misdiagnosed or underdiagnosed.
My goal is to help find a good starting point of treatment that resonates with you in this context and provide evidence-based treatment to support your needs, goals, and desires to bring relief and remission, joy and hope.
All options on the table including progressive medication management, psychotherapy and counseling, or referrals for other modalities including deepTMS, and psychedelic-type therapies.
During my pre/postnatal care experience, I noticed many gaps in our healthcare system & government. There is an overall lack of support for mothers in the United States.
These gaps & suffering from postpartum mental health issues, I grew a passion for women experiencing similar issues. As an attachment based therapist I noticed other mental health professionals do not know how to support new mothers without suggesting strategies that can damage secure attachments in the parent/child relationship.
I hold a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Social Work from Western Michigan University, equipping me with a strong foundation in clinical practice and social work principles.
My professional background as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker encompasses a diverse range of evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Behavioral Therapy, Biblical Christian Counseling, Problem-Solving Therapy (PST), Relational Therapy, Solution-Focused Couples Therapy, Strength-Based Therapy, Cognitive Trauma-Focused Therapy, and Family-Focused Therapy.
I am dedicated to providing tailored, compassionate care to male and female adults, as well as the geriatric population, addressing a wide spectrum of mental health, emotional, and relational needs to foster empowerment and well-being.
I am a clinical social worker/psychotherapist with 15 years of experience working in various mental healthcare settings. My post graduate training has primarily focused in the areas of trauma (developmental as well as medical) as well as perinatal mental health.
My approach is rooted in trust, empathy, curiosity, and genuine care. I believe that meaningful change begins in a safe, supportive relationship where you feel seen and understood. I strive to create an environment where you can explore your thoughts and emotions freely, without judgment. I have had experience working with all ages- spanning from private practice, community mental health, school social work / school based therapy, and residential treatment centers. While I love working with children and adolescents, I also provide space for adults and parents.
Attending to our mental wellbeing is the first step towards an improved life. My goal is to help you make that a reality with my experience.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) specializing in mental health and trauma, I provide compassionate, client-centered care. I believe healing is a holistic process that addresses both mind and body. Working collaboratively with clients, I create a safe space to explore experiences and heal from past wounds.
Hi, I'm Alex! I'm excited to get to know you. My friends describe me as a golden retriever, which is energy I think I also bring into therapy. I'm going to be by your side every step of the way.
Most of my work as a provider has been with children, teens, and their parents. However, I am skilled at connecting with a variety of people. The connection between you and I will be the most important factor in our work together - it will be my top priority to get to know you as your own person with your unique experiences, thoughts, and feelings.
My non-work time is spent adventuring with my kids, reading, and making bizarre Spotify playlists for any occasion.
