About Alexander
He describes his approach as change-oriented with attention to meaning and the big questions of life. Sessions can range from listening and reflecting to offering direct feedback or coaching, depending on what a person asks for that day. He invites discussion of faith or spirituality when clients want to include it, and also works with people who prefer a secular focus.
Alexander brings 26 years of experience and a background that includes a Master of Divinity, a Master of Arts, and work as a hospice chaplain. He draws on a mix of methods that include existential and narrative ideas, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, Jungian perspectives, and EMDR when appropriate.
In practice he helps people cope with depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, career stress, and caregiver strain among other issues. He also offers support around identity topics such as LGBT matters and body image or eating-related concerns.
His style is conversational and reflective. He aims to help people move toward clearer decisions, greater emotional relief, and more workable day-to-day coping strategies.
