About Alex

I became a therapist out of a deep curiosity about the inner world—and a personal understanding of how painful and disorienting life can sometimes feel. My own lived experience with the kinds of struggles I now support others through has shaped the way I listen, relate, and hold space.

I practice from a depth-oriented perspective, which means we’ll explore not only current concerns, but also the unconscious patterns, early relationships, and symbolic layers that shape your emotional experience. This approach values complexity, meaning, and the wisdom that can emerge when we turn inward with curiosity.

My style is warm, intuitive, and thoughtful. While I bring clinical training and perspective, I don’t see myself as the expert on your life. My role is to help you slow down, reflect, and begin to hear your own voice more clearly.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, and questions of self-worth. Over the past decade, I’ve worked in a variety of clinical settings—from substance use treatment and college mental health to group private practice—supporting individuals through a wide range of emotional challenges.

Education

I hold a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology with emphasis in Depth Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute in Santa Barbara, and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo.
