Hope-Filled, Judgment-Free Counseling
I work with people who are:
Struggling to communicate or reconnect with their spouse
Facing transitions like parenting, burnout, or spiritual doubt
Wrestling with loneliness, faith questions, or emotional overwhelm
Processing overwhelm in parenting or spiritual identity
What makes this practice different:
I’m not a blank slate. I’m a Christian, a mom, a wife, and a therapist. My work is grounded in grace, clinical expertise, and a belief that healing happens in relationship—with people and with God.

In Alex, you will find a therapist who is warm, dedicated and extremely passionate about her work. As a colleague and fellow couples' therapist, I can say with confidence that she is wonderful with couples in any stage of their relationship. I also recommend Alex frequently to couples looking for a counselor who is open to honoring their faith as an integral part of their relationship foundation.

Alex is a highly skilled and competent couples therapist. I’m a therapist, myself, and Alex has been my go-to North Austin couples therapist for multiple years. Can’t say enough good things about her professionalism and talent as a couples therapist!

INDIVIDUAL COUNSELING
Alex is truly present and extraordinarily thoughtful, and from my work alongside her as a lifelong learner and fellow therapist, I love that she values deep meaning, emotion focused work, and also practicality. She demonstrates focused attentive energy as she works, simultaneous to listening to her intuition and heart. I would refer those in my own life who I love and care for to Alex as both an individual and a couple's therapist.
INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
Alex is such a wonderful blend of bubbly, warm, down to earth, funny, and very insightful. She makes it easy to feel comfortable and connect as soon as you meet her, which is so important when searching for a therapist. As a colleague, I feel very confident referring couples and individuals to her because of how kind, smart, and effective a therapist she is.
