You're worried they are quickly spiraling into anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem. I can help.

When working with individuals, I give them the space to access their own wisdom and know their truth. I like take a Person-centered approach by incorporating Mindfulness and Creativity which can enhance the counseling experience. This is achieved by incorporating art, music, play, and sand tray work. I have experience working with concerns including anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, schizophrenia, stress, grief, attachment wounds, ADHD, and Autism spectrum disorder. I also utilize EMDR therapy with clients so that they can heal from their trauma.

I have a passion for helping people get through the difficult times in their life, whether that’s from losing a loved one or just from the day-to-day stress that life sometimes brings.

If you had to describe yourself to a stranger, would you use words that indicate value and goodness? Do you feel worthy of love and acceptance from others? Sadly for too many of us, the answer is no. Our confidence dwindles as we navigate difficult life events, transitions, and relationships.

Hi there, I’m Alex! Starting therapy can be daunting experience. It’s important to find a therapist that you feel comfortable with and is the right fit for your needs. I believe that providing a safe, non-judgmental space for others to truly be themselves and explore their inner world is an authentically beautiful and healing experience. Life gets hard, and you don’t have to journey alone! I believe cultural sensitivity is crucial in a healthy therapeutic relationship. I thoroughly enjoy working with LGBTQIA+ individuals and other populations that may experience cultural impacts on their mental health.

Acknowledging life struggles and making the decision to improve your mental health and wellbeing is often the hardest first step. Every person has their own individual reason for taking that first step. Some are struggling with major life transitions, some are finding they no longer feel excited about life and lack motivation to engage in activities that make them feel good. Others feel anxious doing everyday activities and some find that their past experiences hold them back from living their best life. Whatever your reason is for taking that first step, I am so glad you did!

Being part of the LGBTQIA or Poly community in the South can be BEYOND isolating. You feel pressured to hide your identity, struggling to find acceptance from your friends and family, all while trying to navigate the coming out process or transition. You feel stuck. Unsure of your identity. Tired of questioning. Uncomfortable in the skin you're in. You just want to feel like yourself and be able to go out with your partner(s) without the constant nagging fears and insecurities.

Feeling lost? Angry? Maybe even a little broken? That's okay. In therapy, there are no masks, no need to hide your true feelings. You can cuss, cry, or scream if you want. It's your space to be unapologetically you, without expectations or judgments. Maybe you've been through therapy before, and while it helped to have someone listen & give you coping skills, it was like slapping a Band-Aid on a wound. You know logically what you should do, but your emotions keep dragging you down different paths. Those thoughts of not being good enough, needing to please everyone, or striving for perfection, They're suffocating, aren't they?

Let me help you. My passion is to help people find ways to live their lives more effectively. Many people admit that they do not know what to do to help their situation.

Isn’t the process of finding a therapist on Psychology Today a daunting one? I find this to be especially true if you are a part of a group that often feels shame when seeking help, such as Queer people, polyamorous folks, people diagnosed with HIV, or individuals who’ve been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder. All of these folks can find a home at Berkana Collective, where we can help find you a sense of comfort and acceptance, but also attain the change you need to accomplish the goals you have for yourself, like healthier emotions, stronger relationships, and more.

You, just like your friends, family, and every other person on the planet, are worthy of love, belonging, and freedom to live your life without basing your worth on how you look, past trauma, what you eat, or what you assume others think.
