About Alex

I’m a licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist. I received my master’s degree from New York University and completed my clinical supervision training in Texas with a trauma-informed, neuroscience-focused relational supervisor.

I became a therapist because I believe most people already have a sense of what they need — they just need a space to think it through clearly with someone who will listen carefully and be honest with them.

In therapy, my role is to help you slow things down, notice patterns, and connect the dots so you can move forward with more clarity and intention.

My style is conversational, curious, and collaborative. Sessions often feel like a thoughtful dialogue where we explore what’s happening beneath the surface — the thoughts, emotions, and reactions that shape your decisions, relationships, and sense of self. My goal isn’t to tell you what to do, but to help you understand yourself more clearly so you can make decisions that actually feel aligned with who you are.

I tend to work best with adults who are curious about themselves and take their personal growth seriously — people who want to understand their patterns and stop repeating the same frustrating cycles in relationships, work, or life decisions.

A little about my path

I grew up in Dallas, Texas, in a culture where relationships, personality, and presentation carried a lot of social weight. Like many people, I spent a long time trying to understand where I fit within those expectations.

School was difficult for me growing up. I struggled to stay engaged in the classroom and couldn’t sit still for long periods of time. When I was 17, my mom advocated for me to be tested for ADHD, and receiving that diagnosis completely changed how I understood myself and how my brain works.

That experience sparked a lifelong curiosity about human behavior, attention, motivation, and the ways our minds shape how we move through the world.

After college, I went on to earn my Master’s in Social Work from NYU and spent two formative years living and training in New York City. Since then, my career has taken a somewhat unconventional path — working in both clinical settings and early-stage healthcare startups focused on supporting families through complex life situations.

Those experiences gave me a unique perspective on the intersection of psychology, relationships, work, and modern life.

Integrating the mind and body

Another influence on my work has been movement. During my time living in California, I became deeply involved in reformer Pilates and eventually completed certification as a reformer Pilates instructor through Mighty Pilates.

Learning to slow down and pay attention to my body in that way had a profound impact on my own nervous system. Over time, I noticed I was less reactive, more grounded, and better able to navigate life’s inevitable ups and downs.

That experience shaped how I think about therapy.

In addition to insight and conversation, our work may include learning ways to regulate the nervous system and build awareness of how your body responds to stress. In neuroscience and cognitive psychology, this type of work is often referred to as bottom-up processing — helping the brain develop new patterns through experience so calm and regulation become more automatic over time.

Today

Today I work full-time in private practice offering the kind of therapy I wish I had at different stages of my life: a real relationship with a therapist who listens carefully, asks thoughtful questions, challenges assumptions when needed, and helps connect the dots so what we talk about in session actually translates into real life.

At the end of the day, I’m simply someone who turned a lifelong curiosity about human behavior into a career. I feel incredibly lucky that my work now involves helping people better understand themselves and create lives that feel more meaningful and aligned.
