about Alex

Welcome

I am a sensitive and compassionate person devoted to embodying wise love in relationship and helping others do the same.

Alex is wise beyond their years. I recommend them to anyone on the path of Consciousness as a truly masterful teacher who walks the talk and lives from the heart.

- Wewer Keohane PhD
Artist | Author | Depth Psychology

I am most interested in

embodying wise love in relationship.

 

​

The sentiment is simple enough, but the reality requires ongoing reflection, learning, healing, attunement, humility, and ever-deepening wisdom.

​

I help individuals, couples, and groups move through stuck patterns and develop capacities to embody wise love and freedom

​​

​

I mostly draw from

somatic psychotherapy,

relational psychoanalysis,

and

buddhist psychology.

 

​

 

​

I am immersed in my own healing journey.

​

I devote myself fully to my own healing, learning, and unlearning and I remain in ongoing analysis, mentorship, supervision, and consultation daily.

 

​

When you work with me, you are working with a team of wise mentors standing with me, each with lineages of wise mentors standing with them. 

Despite a prodigious amount of academic eduction, most of my learning has come from living my own life while in relationship with wise and compassionate teachers.
