Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker

They/them

Alex is an AuDHD, non-binary, queer, disabled, chronically ill, and multi-racial clinical social worker, with lived experience of OCD + other mental health conditions. Alex is from, and currently resides on Očhéthi Šakówiŋ land (colonized as Twin Cities of MN).  Ever since Alex was a child, they've always felt different, quirky, and eccentric, believing as a youth that "normal" (which they now realize is neurotypical :D) was boring. As a result of being different, and masking undiagnosed AuDHD, Alex felt drawn to wanting to understand people, and to serving others. These life experiences, and passions led Alex to where they are today.

In their therapeutic work, Alex aims to be anti-racist, neurodivergent and queer affirming, while continuously learning and growing in these (and other) areas. Alex works with clients ages 6-45. Alex is trained in the following therapeutic modalities: Sand Tray Therapy; Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT) for OCD and anxiety disorders; Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) with children, youth and young adults; Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT); Solution-Focused Therapy.
