    Hello and welcome, I'm Alex. If you are currently looking for a therapist, I'm willing to bet there are some unanswered questions in your life. The desire for change can be a powerful motivator to finding the answers you seek. Today, you are taking the first step, and I can help.

     

    We will work together in navigating the path to personal growth by exploring your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and identifying the ways in which you can begin to make purposeful and meaningful choices toward the kind of life you desire.

    Women's Issues

     

    There are many unique challenges that people who identify as female face when it comes to mental health. Relationships, communication, body image, life transitions, pregnancy/postpartum, and sex are just a few of the areas in which challenges can occur. If you need support around any of these or other difficulties in your life, we can address them from a perspective that recognizes the unique needs of women, and takes an effective and considerate approach to resolving them.

     

    Anxiety

     

    Anxiety is one of the major reasons people seek therapy. Whatever the challenges you are currently facing, it is common to experience anxiety throughout life's many stages. Anxiety serves a very important purpose, and can actually be beneficial when it's not out of control. Together, we will explore your experiences and identify what is causing your anxiety, while practicing new coping skills to help you move forward.

     

     

     

     

  • About Me

    I have been fascinated by human behavior ever since I can remember. My decision to study psychology was part of the natural progression on my own path to personal growth. I have been on an incredible journey of self discovery in the past several years, and it has changed my life for the better. I decided this was a journey worth taking, and I am dedicated to helping others do the same.

     

    My program at Bastyr University focused on holistic health psychology, or treating the whole person; mind, body, and spirit. I am a firm believer that this approach can be incredibly beneficial to the people I work with, and is much more effective than simply trying to treat symptoms. Approaching therapy this way means I strive to create an environment of empathetic understanding, trust, and honesty, while working together to identify issues that feel most relevant to you and developing effective coping skills to address your needs. My treatment approach includes aspects of Object Relations Theory, Humanistic Psychology, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-based Therapy.
