I go by "Alec," and while I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist, I've spent my time in the field assisting those who have lost control. I began my career in an inpatient addiction rehab, then I worked in an addiction intensive outpatient, and now I provide a more general service in private practice. While I cut my teeth on addiction treatment, I found that attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD), trauma, posttraumatic stress (PTSD), depression, anxiety, bipolar, obsessive compulsion (OCD), and a host of other factors always came with the addiction. So I have made it my goal to help a broad range of people overcome what feels unmanageable, unpredictable, and uncontrollable.
My Practice & Services
I have been told repeatedly that I come across as "warm and welcoming," you are likely to find me easy to talk to - and it is my goal to make our time comfortable and safe. I am not keen on homework or rigidity, and instead, try to remain flexible to unforeseen circumstances or changes. As a sufferer of ADHD myself, I am prone to keeping notes and checking them -- and I'm also thorough about plans and scheduling because without explicit communication I'll get lost.
