Alex earned her Master’s degree from the University of Central Florida in Marriage, Couples, and Family Counseling which gave her the foundation to facilitate individual, group, couples, and family therapy. She manages her own private practice: Mindful Perceptions, LLC where she is able to offer these services. Alex grew up in a rural town in Tennessee where she witnessed the need for mental health services and the lack of awareness on the subject. This inspired her to begin a blog on her website and network with professionals in other fields, in addition to assisting clients therapeutically.

Alex’s goal is to help clients understand what they are experiencing and assist them with establishing an action plan to obtain balance in their lives. She sees the world through a systemic lens and recognizes the impact that relationships and environment have on individuals. She utilizes active listening to tailor her approach to each client’s needs. She has previously worked in non-profit agencies, a crisis hotline, a community clinic, and substance use facility for adolescents. She is able to offer a sliding-scale to make it easier for individuals, couples, and families to access mental health services on a needs basis.
