Therapeutic Approach
My primary theoretical approach is cognitive behavioral therapy. My goal is to assist in gaining insight to potential causes of life stressors, our reactions, and developing healthy-effective coping strategies to promote overall emotional well-being. I believe that once we are able to care for ourselves, we then become better able to help and serve others.
More About Me
In middle school, an Air Force recruiter came to our class and handed out ‘shiny’ folders with a fighter jet flying in the sky on the front. Right then and there, I decided I was going to fly jets! Unfortunately, at that young age, I did not realize my fear of heights might interfere with my lofty goals. Instead, at 19-years-old, I enlisted in the Air Force and ‘settled’ on a specialty of Morse Code operator and later, medical laboratory technician. I took my first psychology course (and first college course for that matter) while I was stationed at Chicksands, AFB, England and I was hooked. After service, I used my GI Bill, in part, to purse education in the mental health field and it has been an adventure ever since!
My Interests
Dr. Alexander enjoys traveling, physical fitness, community service, and spending time with family.
