More about Alex

  • 10 years' experience
  • Male
  • AHPRA

I'm a registered psychologist who is passionate about helping people navigate life's challenges and create meaningful, lasting change. I work with a wide range of presentations, including anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, parenting concerns, depression, and adjusting to significant life changes and transitions.

My therapeutic approach is relaxed, open and warm. Therapy is a space where you can explore your experiences and emotions at your own pace. I draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based strategies, trauma-informed practice, and person-centred therapy, tailoring these approaches to your individual needs and goals.

I am deeply committed to helping clients. Perhaps you're just looking to feel better, find greater fulfilment or purpose, process something from your past, navigate a current crisis or life transition, or break free from patterns that are no longer serving you. I welcome you to bring all of this into therapy. I would be honoured to work alongside you as you develop greater self-understanding, strengthen your relationships, make choices that align with your values, and build a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

Originally from the United States, I have served as a U.S. Marine and enjoy bushwalking, stand-up comedy, and the beach. I now call Australia home where I spend time with my family and purse the recipe for the perfect brownie.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
