About Alex

I am a registered Marriage and Family Therapist Associate in Los Angeles, CA. I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Visual Studies from the University of Pennsylvania as well as a Master of Arts degree in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University.

I completed a psychodynamic-focused clinical training from Maple Counseling Center. During this time I worked with adolescents and young adults of all backgrounds. Adjacent to this training, I volunteered with the Trevor Project as a virtual crisis counselor for LGBTQ+ adolescents.

Along with my clinical training, I am a Board Member of the Next Generation Advisory Committee for UCLA Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital. As a board member, we support the Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital Board of Advisors in helping to preserve and improve psychiatric hospital-based services at UCLA.

My therapeutic training is grounded in the psychodynamic orientation, yet I employ a variety of complementary therapeutic approaches to best meet the client's needs. As a participant observant, the client and I will explore emotions, thoughts, and experiences, past and present, to expand personal insight and find actionable ways to work through struggles.
