MEET YOUR THERAPIST
Hi, I'm Alex. I'm warm, I'm real, and I will absolutely laugh with you if something is funny.
I work with individuals and couples who want more than a checklist. My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and rooted in genuine human connection.
Slow down. Get curious. Find what's been there all along.
Most of us have parts of ourselves we've pushed aside because they didn't feel safe to look at. That's usually where the most meaningful work begins.
The work isn't about being handed a plan. It's about slowing down enough to notice what's actually happening beneath the surface — the patterns you keep bumping into, the parts of yourself you've set aside, the ways you relate to the people you love that feel stuck even when you want them to be different.
I work from a trauma-informed, relational foundation, using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) with couples and a collaborative, curiosity-driven approach with individuals. The pace is yours. And there's room here for honesty, complexity, and occasionally for humor.

Open Room Therapy is built with room for the complexity of identity.
LGBTQIA+ affirming care is foundational to this practice, not a checkbox. If you've spent time shrinking yourself in other spaces, you don't have to do that here.
Before You Reach Out
You probably have questions. Here are a few honest answers.
-
No, but I can provide you with a SuperBill. A SuperBill is a detailed reciept that you can submit to your insurance for possible reinbursement. I can provide these monthly but you will need to contact your insurance ahead of time to see if they reinburse.
-
All sessions are virtual, so you can meet with me from anywhere in California: no commute, no waiting room, just a private space that works for your life.
-
Yes. Queer and trans clients aren't an afterthought here; this practice is built with room for the full complexity of identity, relationships, and the parts of yourself you don't want to over-explain.
