Hi! My name is Alexa (she/her), and I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor
Associate. I earned my B.A. in Psychology from the University of North Carolina Wilmington
and my M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Mount Olive.

I understand that finding a therapist who feels like the right fit for you can sometimes feel
overwhelming. I believe meaningful change begins with a strong therapeutic relationship built on
trust, understanding, and compassion. As a clinician, I strive to be authentic, honest, and
nonjudgmental, meeting you with kindness and acceptance. Mental health challenges can feel
isolating, frightening, and even hopeless at times, but difficult moments do not define your ability
to grow or move forward. To me, growth is not about having all the answers, but about learning
to navigate life’s uncertainties with greater understanding, confidence, and self-compassion.

I take a person-centered approach to therapy, valuing your perspective and collaborating with
you to identify goals and strategies that align with your unique needs. My goal is to create a safe,
supportive, and inclusive space where you feel heard, respected, and free to be yourself
throughout your therapeutic journey.

My clinical experience includes working with children, teens, and young adults navigating
anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, behavioral concerns, and significant life changes. I enjoy
working alongside you as you explore your experiences, develop practical coping skills, and
discover new ways to approach life’s challenges.

My therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT),
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). I believe psychoeducation is an important part of
therapy and enjoy explaining the “why” behind the strategies and techniques we use together.
Through this process, I hope to support you in gaining new perspectives, recognizing your strengths, and discovering approaches that feel meaningful to you.
