Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about your next steps, I’m here to guide you through it. Therapy is a partnership, and I aim to create a space where you feel safe, comfortable, and open to explore your challenges and strengths."


Alex’s Approach to Therapy


Alex’s approach is centered on creating a partnership with his clients, where trust and comfort come first. He believes therapy should be a safe space where you can express your concerns and start your journey toward self-exploration. "I’m here to be curious about your strengths, aspirations, and challenges as we work together to find clarity and growth. Therapy is about creating that space where you feel heard and empowered."

Alex specializes in working with individuals navigating complex issues such as:

  • Identity and trauma within the adoption community

  • Adoption support for adoptees

  • Substance use and addiction support recovery

  • Managing college and personal life pressures

  • Supporting LGBTQIA+ individuals in understanding and embracing their identity


Many of Alex’s clients find that trauma and substance use can deeply impact their relationships, self-esteem, and priorities. His focus is to guide clients in recognizing how these challenges show up in their daily lives and in their relationships with themselves and others. His area of expertise includes adoption and addiction support.


What Clients Can Expect


"Through our work together, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of how substances impact your relationships and how trauma shapes your interactions with the world. I’m here to help you build confidence, develop mindfulness, and find clarity as you navigate life’s challenges."
