Hi I'm Alex

During challenging times, a lot that we've taken for granted - health, finances, career, dating - may feel precarious, doomed even. I help people identify any "thinking" obstacles you may have, in order to push past limiting assumptions or sabotaging beliefs. To be listened to without judgement... can be liberating from shame and self-doubt, reconnecting you to your own core values, strengths and dreams. Let's get started!

“Alex helped me work through my divorce and big move. I feel like my outlook on life is much better, and I'm excited for my next chapter.”

Alex’s therapeutic style

I tend to be warm and spacious in session, giving you room to lead while I stay closely attuned, and I tend to stay grounded in the present while pulling in the past when it helps make sense of what is happening. I tend to keep the work organized and purposeful, with enough structure to help us build momentum.
