Hi, I'm Dr. Alex!

You deserve support and I am glad you have found your way here!

For many of us, parenthood represents a profound change not only in our daily life (hello sleepless nights, diaper changes and tantrums), but also in the ways that we see the world and understand ourselves. Perhaps not unexpectedly, the magnitude of these changes can bring up anxieties and insecurities, resurfacing of past traumas and old wounds, create confusion about the ways in which we want to show up as parents and stress our relationship with our partner. Additionally, our journey into parenthood can involve its own traumas (hello difficult birth or unexpected aspects of parenthood)! In these moments, I am honored to meet parents with curiosity, connection and support.

In my virtual office, you can expect a therapeutic relationship that creates a gentle, warm, and authentic place from which we can be curious about the different parts of ourselves, the stories we tell within our family systems and how our past interweaves with our present experiences to support or inhibit our own sense of wellness.

I often find that these conversations center around attachment, reparenting, breaking old patterns and cycles, and healing from trauma and adversity. Additionally, counseling sessions often explore concrete ideas and strategies to address anxiety, depression, difficulty adjusting, trauma and parenting in the present moment.
