Alex sees clients in-person at the Wicker Park office as well as Illinois residents virtually
Have you ever felt overwhelmed with work, school, relationships, or just life in general? Has life
changed unexpectedly? Is past trauma preventing you from experiencing life to its fullest? Have
you been dealing with feelings of hopelessness or sadness that don’t seem to go away? Are you
dealing with the loss of a loved one, relationship, or opportunity? If you answered "yes" to any
of those questions, just know, that you are not alone. We can all encounter a time when we feel
overwhelmed, scared, or even lost. Sometimes these issues can feel unbearable, but with the right
tools and a strong ally, we can grow, develop, and heal in ways that we never conceived as
possible.
​
My clinical goal is to help clients find resilience and hope in the face of adversity. We will work
to find the resolve to keep moving forward against the most difficult of life circumstances.
Together, we can find the courage to process overwhelming grief and pain, forgive ourselves and
others, change what isn't working, increase self-worth, and discover inner peace. My therapeutic
approach honors the uniqueness of each person. I believe that therapy is about discovering what
works best for you. I integrate various evidence-based methods and interventions to help you
achieve your goals and live your very best life.

In my personal life, I have engaged in extensive volunteer legal advocacy work to promote
equitable representation in the field of mental health. I have written three state-level resolutions
to promote the well-being of disenfranchised populations. I love giving back to my community,
and find great fulfillment in the populations I work with!
