I am now able to offer myself more care and kindness, which leads to further awareness and understanding, because of the work Alex and I did together.

Former Client

Alex always made me feel very safe and welcome, and made sure his space was always neat and comfortable. His manner of speaking, how he asked questions, and listened intently by leaning in and maintaining eye contact helped me know that he genuinely cared and made me feel seen and heard.

Former Client

Working with Alex felt very natural and safe. As my first experience with a therapist, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I knew I got lucky with Alex.

Former Client

Alex's manner of speaking, how he asked questions, and listened intently by leaning in and maintaining eye contact helped me know that he genuinely cared and made me feel seen and heard.

Former Client

As I worked with Alex, I noticed I began to be more comfortable and welcoming of all parts of myself, especially the areas I was ashamed of and unwilling to acknowledge.

Former Client

From very early on in our time together Alex was very attuned to my needs and gave me the space and respect I needed to be able to grow.

Former Client

During our time together Alex helped me to develop the ability to have grace for all the elements of my past and my story, which has continued to help me since our time together.
