Hello! My name is Alec. I received my bachelors in psychology from the University of Iowa and masters in social work from Lewis University. I have experience working with all age groups, but specialize in working with children and adolescents 18 years old and younger.

I utilize a variety of different intervention strategies, which stem from cognitive behavioral theory (CBT) and psychodynamic theory. CBT aids in allowing individuals to identify and challenge negative thought patterns and behaviors, resulting in improved mood and behavior. Psychodynamic therapy focuses on exploring unconscious thoughts and past experiences to gain insight into present behaviors and emotional struggles, leading to increased self-awareness and emotional healing. Whether working with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, relationships, or trauma, I am committed to providing personalized, empathic, and holistic care to support my clients in achieving their goals and improving their overall well-being.

Taking care of your mental health is a sign of strength. It takes courage to seek help and to make yourself a priority.
