Meet Your Therapist
Hi, I'm Alex!
Welcome! I am a Licensed Professional Mental Health Counselor, Registered Board Certified Art Therapist, and a Registered Yoga Teacher. I am an EMDR trained therapist and enjoy using the EMDR method to help my clients integrate their belief systems, gain a fresh perspective and promote healing. I have expertise helping adults and families with addiction recovery. I specialize in providing mindful, trauma-informed care to adults and young adults who experience symptoms of chronic stress, trauma, and anxiety.
I offer in person, virtual, or hybrid (a combination of both) sessions and will help to structure treatment to best fit your individual strengths and areas for growth.
