In-person therapy in Ojai ~ Online across California
Depth-oriented therapy for relational healing and life's most meaningful transitions.
Psychotherapy for individuals, teens, and couples in Ojai, with virtual psychotherapy across California.
Welcome, I’m Alex
I provide psychotherapy for people navigating relational transitions — the moments when love, loss, or change asks something new of you.
Maybe you're ending a relationship that defined you, or beginning one that's surfacing wounds you thought you'd moved past. You're grieving the death of someone whose presence shaped how you understood yourself. Your family feels fractured — by distance, by an old rupture, by roles you've outgrown but don't know how to put down. You’re are becoming a parent. You're moving through divorce, estrangement, a marriage that's lost its footing, or the quiet grief of a friendship that simply dissolved.
Or maybe there's no single event — just a pattern you keep living out. The way you disappear when things get close. The way you hold on long past the point of pain. The dynamic you swore you'd never repeat, showing up again in a different face.
You're ready for something to change.
Relational transitions have a way of cracking us open. They ask the questions we've been avoiding: Who am I in this? What do I actually want? What am I still carrying? That's where the real work begins.

My Approach
My work is relational, body-based, and oriented toward the deeper layers — not just what's happening on the surface, but what lives underneath it.
Together, we'll slow down enough to listen. We'll trace the attachment patterns and early experiences that quietly shape how you love, fight, shut down, or over-give. We'll pay attention to what your body already knows — the contraction in your chest, the impulse to flee, the way you go silent when you most need to speak. And we'll work at the level of the nervous system, so that new ways of relating aren't just understood intellectually, but felt and integrated from the inside out.
This isn't about learning scripts or fixing behavior. It's about understanding why you move through relationships the way you do — and gradually, at a pace that feels safe, becoming someone who can stay present, ask for what you need, and receive love without bracing for its loss.
Frequently asked questions
-
I am considered an out-of-network provider and do not bill insurance companies directly. However, I’m happy to provide a Superbill after each session, which you can submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement. Coverage varies by plan, so your insurance provider can let you know whether out-of-network mental health services are included.
-
Therapy is less about a fixed timeline and more about the process of growth. For some, therapy may be short-term—focused on learning specific tools or addressing a particular challenge. For others, the work is ongoing, unfolding as new insights and life transitions arise. Together, we’ll decide what pace and depth of work feels right for you.
