“Good first experience. Didn’t really know what to expect, but was comfortable and booked a second appointment.”
Gage M.September 26, 2023
“Originally I booked for a psychiatrist, but I got Alex and I am so happy. I wasn’t looking for a new therapist, but I found one that I actually like. ?He was such a great listener, and got right to the point. He was very relatable which I really enjoyed. It felt easy for me to talk because he made his self relatable. His style is impeccable as well. ? he also made an appointment for me to see a psychiatrist.”

In my free time I enjoy frequenting the many great record stores around Chicago, seeing live music, and discovering all the gems the city has to offer.
With all clients, I believe that it is most important to meet each client where they are in their journeys and to present as my most authentic self. After all, I am also experiencing the world in real time with you! In doing so, I aim to create a warm and welcoming environment that encourages my clients to do the work they have come to do.
