Welcome. My name is Alex (they/them) and I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW-C) in Maryland with 4 years of professional work experience. You are the expert in your own life, and I am committed to bringing a compassionate and nonjudgmental perspective to help you make progress towards your personalized therapy goals. I work with individuals who have anxiety, depression, ADHD, and difficulties with impulse control and emotion regulation. I also meet with clients who struggle with motivation, low self- esteem, career difficulties, and coping with life changes. I am a queer and gender diverse provider who enjoys working with LGBTQIA+ clients as they navigate everyday life, coming out, and exploring their gender identity and expression. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
