I firmly believe that one can become his/her/their most authentic self while also navigating the complexities and demands of family and society.

Hello! My name is Alex. I am part of a private practice called Early Connections Child & Family Counseling. I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and college students. While college can bring a lot of novelty and excitement, it can also bring difficulty and pain. You may meet hundreds of new people, but feel lonely and disconnected. Challenges at home or past trauma may make it tough for you to stay mentally and emotionally present on campus. You might feel anxious and overwhelmed as your classwork and other commitments pile up. These are just a few examples of stressors many college students face everyday. Regardless of where you are now, it takes a lot of courage to begin the process of counseling, and I would be honored to be a part of your journey. I work hard to create a safe, authentic, and engaging space where every student can freely express themselves. We will work together to identify areas in your life where I can be supportive, and create goals that will help you live your life well. Please contact me with any questions. I look forward to meeting you!

My clinical specialties include anxiety, Autism Spectrum Disorder, adjustment, self-esteem, and divorce. Everyone has their unique story, and I am so thankful that you are considering sharing some of yours with me. I look forward to meeting you and learning how I can support you!

We provide students and school personnel with the skills to manage or resolve anxiety on location in one of our convenient offices (Marietta or Woodstock) or virtually through a secure, HIPAA compliant platform. Do you need help with your anxiety or time management? Are you looking for ways to overcome social or performance anxiety? Do you need better skills in conflict management for home, school, or work? Do you want a confidential, professional opinion on how you are handling school or work? Have you tried your own solutions and realized you need an objective solution centered viewpoint? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then you have made the right choice by coming to me. I specialize with proven methods, such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), to help with anxiety. We also provide Marriage Counseling to couples having increased stress due to educational pressure. We can help you improve communication, connection, and conflict resolution through proven techniques. We recognize that your choice to attend therapy alone or with your spouse can be a challenge. It is our goal to work with you to recognize strengths and develop these assets to help you overcome whatever barriers may be hindering your progress. At Advent Counseling we listen, assess, and create a workable treatment plan to assist you in achieving your goals. Individual Counseling is focused on the individual’s immediate or near future concerns. It may encompass education, career, goal setting, planning, grief after a loved one dies or dealing with other problems before they become insurmountable. Individual counseling is a one-on-one discussion between the counselor and the client. The two form an alliance or professional relationship that enables trust and personal growth.

Treatment Philosophy We are a counseling practice and professional team that believes in developing personal, caring relationships with our clients. Time after time, clinical studies have proven that success in counseling isn’t about theory or techniques. It’s about relationships. Specifically, the relationship between you and your clinician. We strive to make counseling a uniquely helpful and positive experience. A one size fits all approach doesn’t work. If people are individuals, shouldn’t counseling be individualized? We will work together to construct an approach that fits your needs and create an experience that helps you achieve progress. Our treatment philosophy values a strength-based outlook. In other words, while we’ll carefully consider your issues and concerns, we’ll also spend a considerable amount of time leveraging what you do well and how to build on those strengths using scientifically supported counseling techniques. Counseling doesn’t have to be a long, drawn out process to be helpful. Sometimes all it takes is a small step in the right direction for you to move forward in your life.
