Read Alex's latest blog:

Motivation, procrastination, and the sleight of hand.

Therapeutic Specialties:

Increasing understanding of self and others as a way to process conflict and address relationship issues.
Working with men who are resistant to couples counseling
.


Therapeutic Approach:


I believe that each client and each couple jointly has a unique base of strengths, as well as a unique way in which they access these strengths. With this in mind, I tailor the therapy course to create ease, comfort, and
bias- and judgement-free setting, which is especially helpful when one partner is reluctant about therapy.


My proudest accomplishments as therapist:

Seeing a couple or individual light up when they understand what's been happening and become empowered to take charge of the situation.


What inspired me to become a therapist:


Learning about the link between our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors was a powerful lesson for me in early Psychology classes.  It put me on the path of continued learning about human nature and human interactions.


What I know now for sure

When we own the responsibility for change, we own change. Tweet this.
