Accepting new clients - EMDR trained
Hi, I’m Alex G!
You’re tired of repeating the same relationship patterns. You crave connection—but end up feeling misunderstood, anxious, or emotionally stuck. Maybe you’re replaying old wounds in your current relationships, or struggling to trust after betrayal, neglect, or trauma. Deep down, you’re wondering: “Is something wrong with me?” The truth? Nothing is wrong with you. But something does need healing. I can help. You don’t need to wait for a crisis. If you’re ready to stop just coping—and start healing—I’m here for that.
I’m a trauma-informed therapist and I specialize in helping adults heal from relational trauma, attachment wounds, and painful patterns that started long ago—but still show up in the present. I use EMDR therapy and somatic approaches to help you feel safe in your body, clear in your boundaries, and connected in your relationships.
My clients are often: individuals recovering from toxic or emotionally unavailable relationships, adults with anxious or avoidant attachment styles, people-pleasers who feel unseen or taken for granted, and individuals who grew up in homes where emotions weren’t safe or needs weren’t met. Starting therapy is hard work, I’ll walk next to you in your journey.

My rate is $165 for initial diagnostic evaluations and $150 for ongoing sessions (50 minutes). Families and couples are $165 per session (60 minutes). I provide super bills to submit to insurance.
I accept Empowerment Scholarship Account (ESA), and private pay.

I am a full believer in a Person-Centered approach. This means, I am always approaching you with unconditional positive regard and trust, whatever you need to work through. I am not afraid to use humor and think it's helpful to use some self-disclosure to help you feel understood, seen and less alone!

I have been told I'm laidback, funny and have a warmth to my counseling approach. I am here for providing resources and skills but also think that our therapeutic relationship is the most important part above any tool or skill. I dress casually so don't hesitate to show up in your comfiest clothes!

I tend to work with clients dealing with relationship issues that they want to work on individually, as well as anxiety, depression and mood dysregulation. My clients tend to be older teens and young adults but don't hesitate to reach out if you don't hear yourself in this description!
