From Alex:
It’s a powerful thing to recognize there’s something inside you that needs healing, and to actually pursue it. If you’re here, searching for support, you’re already showing incredible courage. Those who choose to break generational patterns and invest in their mental health to pass down wholeness and peace? They’re the true super-heroes.
I’d be honored to walk alongside you. I work with individuals and couples navigating family-of-origin issues that often show up as anxiety, depression, or relationship struggles. I also have a special heart for those facing infertility, a journey I personally know well, now grateful to be a mom through adoption.
Therapy is deeply personal, a space for honest, transformative growth built on trust. If you’re ready to begin, I’m here. Let’s take this step together.
