I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker having earned my Master of Social Work Degree from University of Southern California and a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology from California State University Northridge. Psychotherapy is both a helping relationship and a process of change, which overcomes problems and increases happiness. I provide psychotherapy to adults with concerns related to depression, anxiety, adjustments/life transitions, relational problems, school/work difficulties, women’s issues, grief and loss, self-esteem issues, parenting difficulties, and family conflict.

We carry with us stories and patterns that have likely served us in the past, but may no longer serve us. This can exacerbate symptoms of anxiety, depression or other mental health symptoms. Exploring and recognizing, with gentleness, how these patterns have become detrimental, gives us the freedom to choose what themes we insert in our life, and what we no longer have space for. I am excited by the opportunity to explore with individuals, couples and polycules the way in which they can increase their intimacy, empowerment, and sense of individuality by exploring and challenging barriers and patterns that limit exploration.

Do you feel depressed or anxious due to childhood trauma? Do you feel disconnected in your relationships with others? I’m here to help you develop an action plan for meaningful changes. My approach to therapy is relational and person-centered. I will work alongside you in a warm and understanding environment where you can explore your emotions and find better ways to deal with the stressors in your life.

Are you no longer experiencing joy in your life? Maybe feeling lonely or depressed? Or maybe you are struggling to make peace with food and your body, which has now impacted your relationships? I can assist you to experience new joy in your life and help you to establish the closer relationships that you long for. Together we can look at the purpose of emotions, longings, feelings, and beliefs. In understanding these different facets of ones self, the process of self-awareness takes place. This will allow you to begin to experience personal and relational transformation.

My practice is dedicated to providing a thoughtful and compassionate setting for clients to find more effective ways to address issues and concerns that are negatively impacting their lives. Together we will address emotional challenges related to past traumas, anxiety, sadness and depression, feelings of being overwhelmed, stuck or hopeless, identity development and relationship struggles to create balance and wellness.

Do you find it difficult to understand your child or teenager? Parenting is an overwhelming job and can sometimes leave you feeling powerless. If your child is having challenges in school, or at home, or with his/her friends, I can give you insights and provide a safe space to understand what is going on and how to approach the situation.

Experiencing anxiety, a relationship problem, trauma or emotional pain from long ago? Maybe it’s something that just doesn’t feel right or perhaps you just need extra support for a major life decision or situation your currently facing. I take a collaborative, nonjudgmental and empowering approach with you on your journey towards insight, healing and growth. I actively listen and help provide the confidence and guidance you need to change what is no longer serving you and begin identifying and practicing things that allows you to reach and maintain the fulfilling life that you want and deserve to have.

I am passionate about providing a safe and warm environment where my clients are free to explore and grow. I strongly believe that the collaborative nature of therapy can help one to see things anew and bring about the change you desire. With an integrative approach and my background in family systems and cognitive behavioral therapy, we will work together to uncover what stands in the way of your growth and develop the tools and insights that will move you towards a life filled with more self-acceptance, joy, and fulfillment. 


Are you finding it difficult to manage your overflowing emotions with your loved ones? Asking yourself what’s my purpose in life? Is my career choice aligned with my core values? Am I honoring my truest self as a Latinx or POC? My focus as a bilingual Art Therapist / Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist is to create a new and safe space with you. A space to dive deep into self expression, art, and explore patterns that have held you hostage from living an integrated life. My mission is to help you understand, manage and reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, worry and disappointment you may face daily.

We all feel lost from time to time, but there’s always light at the end of the tunnel. I’ve been through my own therapy as a young adult when I was stuck in a bout of anxiety and panic attacks due to childhood trauma. Throughout my years of working with traumatized individuals, I learned first-hand about how childhood trauma can have a strong impact on adulthood. I can help you address unresolved trauma, in order for you to find passion, connection, and purpose in your life.

Looking for a therapist can feel overwhelming, especially if your life isn’t how you’ve envisioned it. Are you and your partner having a hard time understanding each other? Are your children struggling to display their strengths and put their best self forward? Is your family in a perpetual pattern of conflict? Do you feel lost after your last break-up? Do you wonder who you are and what you really want from life? Therapy will give you a safe space to sort out your feelings.

Sometimes we all need a little assistance to navigate through life's challenging moments. I equip couples, individuals, and families with the necessary tools to unblock the pathway to a more enriching and fulfilling quality of life. Whether it is depression, anxiety, relational issues, or increasing one's creative potential, I provide a plan that is custom designed to meet your individual needs.

Do you feel anxious due to your work, family issues, low self-esteem, and relationship issues? I can especially help those with anxiety/panic attacks. I make it a priority to help clients with buried feelings who have trouble speaking on their emotions. Communicating emotionally is extremely important to promote well-rounded and mature adults. I will help you enhance your self-awareness around unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and build skills necessary to handle life more effectively and develop actionable steps to reach your goals.

Hello, I'm Alex (she/her) and I am an AMFT. I specialize in creating an all-accepting space for clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, and emotional disconnect by taking an eclectic, collaborative and open approach. I enjoy working with teens, adult individuals and support groups. I work mainly with trauma, depression and anxiety. Some of my favorite approaches include empowering and collaborating with my clients to help them fulfill their therapy goals.

You matter, you are important! Let me help you discover ways you can help yourself get to where you want to be in life. Whether you are dealing with everyday stress or need to work through complicated situations, there are always options we can explore. I am experienced in working with individuals, couples and families dealing with developmental disabilities, severe mental illness, post incarceration/reentry into the community, and immigrants struggling with acculturation and generation gap issues.

I have been treating OCD and anxiety disorders for 15+ years in private practice. In addition to treating clients in private practice I have worked at the UCLA ocd Adult Intensive Treatment Program where I was the Associate Clinical Director. I also worked at the UCLA Childhood OCD, Anxiety & Tic Disorders Program as clinician and an independent evaluator. I am an iocdf BTTI faculty member and I presented at the IOCDF Conference in 2009, 2011-2023. In addition, I have attended the IOCDF Advanced Behavior Therapy Training Institute for BDD. I also offer training and consultation to clinicians, clergy members and family members.

I believe life experiences sometimes put us in a place where we need help to guide us through different aspects of our lives. Pain and suffering caused by the loss of a loved one; navigating the often troublesome path of childhood and adolescence; interpersonal difficulties between couples; fears, anger management and family dynamics are areas I specialize in treating in a warm, safe and comfortable environment. Also, I feel that early issues, loses and experiences help to define how a person makes choices in their lives as they mature. As a therapist, I want to help my clients discover ways to make their life more rewarding.

I have been in practice for close to 30 years and work with individuals and couples. I believe that we all develop ways of coping that serve us at some times in our lives and not in others. I can help you identify the patterns of your behavior and the underlying feelings that accompany that behavior. Together we can try to understand and empathize with what brings you to seek help.
