Meet Alex:
Hi! I’m so glad that you’re here.
Asking for help can be really hard—and I get that. But if you’re here, you’ve already taken a brave first step. Whether you’re an individual navigating personal challenges, a couple working to strengthen your relationship, or a parent seeking support for your child, I’m here to walk alongside you with empowerment, encouragement, and expertise.
Let’s Discover Your “Why” – Together:
I work with individuals of all ages who are seeking to overcome the weight of past experiences and build deeper self-awareness. My approach to individual counseling integrates psychodynamic methods to explore your personal history, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to shift unhelpful thought patterns, and Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) to foster emotional insight and healing. Together, we’ll work to cultivate understanding, growth, and lasting change.
For Couples Building (or Rebuilding) Connection:
Whether you’ve been together for years or are preparing for marriage, relationships require intentional care. I help couples restore connection, improve communication, and navigate conflict using techniques from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method. These approaches help identify attachment needs and interrupt cycles of unhealthy interaction to build a more fulfilling partnership.
Discover Healing Through The Power of Play Therapy:
Children often express themselves best through play. As a therapist trained in play therapy techniques, I support children (ages 3 and up) facing challenges with emotional regulation, behavioral issues, trauma, and communication. My goal is to create a safe, nurturing environment where your child feels understood and empowered.
Experience/Education:
A little about me: I’m a former Division I college athlete with a B.S. in Biology from Georgia Tech and an M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University. I have received training in play therapy and couples therapy and am Level 1 Gottman Method certified. With experience in clinical counseling and behavioral therapy, I bring a well-rounded and compassionate approach to every session.
