A place to make fresh contact with yourself and step into new choices.
* Hi, I’m Alex, an LMFT who helps adults, teens and couples understand and address what’s getting in the way of the lives they want to live.
I’ll help you recognize and engage with different parts of yourself, to free you up for more satisfying living, to be more you without all the noise.
I offer in-person therapy in Santa Monica and Telehealth for clients in California and Florida.
I provide therapy in English, Spanish and Portuguese.
Together, we can explore what you find truly meaningful in life, offering a compass for life’s choices.
If you’re struggling with managing emotions, overthinking, self-acceptance, maintaining boundaries or relationship difficulties, you don’t have to face it alone. I specialize in trauma, OCD (including “Pure O”), anxiety, addiction and in helping people build lives based on what’s meaningful to them.
Do Any of These Resonate for You?
Managing Emotions
When intense emotions come up or shift rapidly, parts of life that can seem easy for others can feel impossible.
Overthinking and Intrusive Thoughts
Repetitive thoughts you don’t want to have and are hard to control.
People Pleasing and Boundary Issues
Taking care of others’ needs can feel good, but can also come at a price, from not getting your needs met to building resentment toward those you love most.
Self-Acceptance
Feeling comfortable just being you.
Trauma
The effects of trauma can linger in many ways, often making relationships particularly scary or overwhelming.
Relationship Difficulties
Relationships are one of the most meaningful parts of life — they can also rustle up some of our deepest fears and unresolved struggles.
