Clinic Director

Menomonee Falls Clinic

I am a licensed mental health and addictions counselor and the owner of South Shore Counseling!  I work with adolescents and adults who engage in individual, couples, and group counseling.  I’m passionate about building a therapeutic relationship with each client in my care.  My commitment as a counselor is to be authentic, relatable, honest, and empathic.  While each client has unique needs, my approach is Person-centered and Humanistic.  I typically use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing techniques but I have an eclectic approach overall.  I sometimes draw interventions from Brief Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.  My particular areas of interest are adolescent counseling, sexual identity and gender issues, substance abuse, and group therapy.

I have worked in residential, day treatment, and outpatient settings.  I have been responsible for crisis intervention and have had training in specialty areas such as trauma, suicide risk and prevention, and psychopharmacology.  I have worked closely with the justice system, child and family services, and Milwaukee County drug court.  I collaborate with primary care physicians and psychiatrists.

I received a Bachelor of Arts in History and Psychology from Marquette University and continued at Marquette to earn a Master’s of Science in Clinical Mental Health and Addiction.  I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Substance Abuse Counselor (SAC) with the State of Wisconsin.  I am also a National Certified Counselor (NCC) with the National Board of Certified Counselors (NBCC).

I look forward to being a part of your journey!

A family once thanked me for being an “anchor” in the life of their loved one, who had been living in the “storm” of a chronic alcohol addiction.  Years later I hold that metaphor of the anchor at the core of my work.  I specialize in helping people during their most challenging times- during their storms.

When we are suffering, we can feel overwhelmed, confused, alone and defeated- we feel unhappy and stuck and just want to feel better.  We do not need to suffer.  My goal is to partner with clients to replace unhappy, stuck and suffering, with meaning and purpose, vitality and hope.

I use a collaborative, strength-based partnership with my clients.  I draw on skills from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy.  Though our past experiences, patterns of thought, behaviors and connection impact how we live life; I believe our healing is done in the present, in the here and now.   

I received my Masters degree in Counseling from the University of Wisconsin Whitewater and am licensed in the state of Wisconsin as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Clinical Substance Abuse Counselor (CSAC).   I have experience working within academic settings, community mental health and restorative justice programs,  Employee Assistance Program (EAP), and nonprofit leadership.  I value working with clients from all backgrounds, ethnicities, gender identities, sexual orientations, and abilities. I look forward to meeting you!

Hello, I’m Alex! I am a counselor in training who is devoted to the cause of supporting my clients in the work they do in therapy –  that includes providing a secure, safe environment for that work to be done, as well as empathy, encouragement, and the space to be yourself throughout the
process.

My counseling approach is versatile, putting to use a range of theories and therapeutic concepts depending on the needs and goals of the client, with ‘evidence-based’ and ‘client-centered’ as consistent themes across the board.

I am obtaining a Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Marquette University.  I have several years experience working in residential mental health care, providing me with experience in CBT and DBT and a wide range of presenting concerns – from mood and anxiety disorders to personality disorders and trauma!  In that time, I have learned that a person’s presenting concerns may not always be as they first appear,  so I am prepared to evolve my approach as needed.  The work we do in recovering  and growing through therapy can be lengthy, tiring, and sometimes discouraging.  A therapist having your back as you do that work can make all the difference and that is what I’m here for!  I look forward to having the opportunity to help.

“No cause is lost if there is still one person devoted to it.” – Corey Taylor
