Advantage Counseling

Hi, I’m Alex

I’m a counselor who is fascinated with life and passionate about coming alongside people in their journey toward healing and wholeness.

I practice from a core belief that we are formed, broken, and healed within relationship. I have come to this belief through navigating my own life difficulties and how caring connection and understanding was the vehicle that moved me to better places internally and externally.

Concerns I help with

Couples where everything seems to turn into blow ups
Couples who are fearful of upsetting each other
Couples navigating infidelity or differences in parenting styles
People-pleasing
Performance based worth
Perfectionism
Unexpressed rage
Hollow internal feelings
Not-good-enough feelings

Understanding your uniqueness

I recognize that my personality and skill set will not be the best fit for every person and difficulty. You are unique and are worthy of having someone you feel is the right person to hold your story.

With that said, I would be happy to have a free 15-minute phone consultation with you to hear a bit about what has led you to pursue counseling, for me to offer some of my experience and my approach to working with those issues, and then determine together what next steps are. I am looking forward to connecting with you!
