Alex is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Clinical Supervisor who is passionate about helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges while strengthening their relationships and sense of self. She earned her Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Central Connecticut State University. Alex has always been deeply interested in relational dynamics and the ways relationships and external systems can shape emotional and behavioral experiences.

Alex creates a supportive, realistic, and nonjudgmental therapeutic environment where clients feel validated while also encouraged to grow. She believes it is important for individuals to acknowledge and take ownership of their emotional and behavioral responses in ways that support healthy daily functioning and meaningful relationships. Her approach emphasizes collaboration, authenticity, and flexibility to meet each client’s unique needs.

Alex works with teens, young adults, adults, couples, and families who may be navigating trauma, self-esteem challenges, family and relationship dynamics, and life transitions. She works collaboratively with clients to better understand patterns within themselves and their relationships, strengthen communication, and create healthier and more meaningful connections.

In her clinical work, Alex draws from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), mindfulness practices, and solution-focused techniques. She also incorporates structural and strategic family therapy approaches when working with couples and families. Alex believes that clients are the experts on themselves and incorporates this perspective into the therapeutic process and treatment planning.

As a Clinical Supervisor, Alex also enjoys supporting developing clinicians as they grow their skills, confidence, and professional identity. She values thoughtful clinical practice, collaboration, and creating space for clinicians to continue learning and developing throughout their careers.

Alex believes that genuine investment in oneself can lead to meaningful adaptation, healing, and growth. Her goal is to help clients feel empowered, grounded, and better equipped to navigate the challenges of everyday life, relationships, and transitions.

Outside of the therapy room, Alex enjoys going for walks with her dog, spending time with family and friends, and being near the water during the warmer months. She is also a self-proclaimed foodie who loves exploring new foods and cuisines.
