Get to Know Alex

I am a clinician at Old Town Psychology and a doctoral candidate in Clinical Psychology at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences. I am also an active-duty officer in the United States Air Force with 15 years of military service. I have clinical experience across emergency, medical, and academic settings, working with adults, children and adolescents.

I provide individual and couples therapy using evidence-based approaches, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), exposure-based interventions, and mindfulness-based practices. My work focuses on anxiety, panic, and chronic worry; stress and burnout; depression and grief; trauma and PTSD; postpartum and perinatal mental health; and major life transitions, including career changes, relationship changes, becoming a parent, and later-life adjustment. My training in emergency and crisis services has prepared me to work with people in acute distress, and my research on traumatic birth experiences and perinatal mental health in military populations informs my work with new and expecting parents. My military background also shapes how I work with service members, veterans, and their families around identity, stress, role strain, and transition.

I also conduct psychological and cognitive assessments for children, adolescents, adults, and older adults, including evaluations for ADHD, learning concerns, memory and cognitive change, and diagnostic clarification. Much of my assessment training has been in clinical neuropsychology with adult and geriatric patients, including those with cognitive impairment, dementia, and traumatic brain injury. I am dedicated to creating a supportive, collaborative environment where clients feel understood and empowered to make meaningful and lasting change.
