Professional statement

Alexia is dedicated to helping couples navigate the challenges of relationships, whether they are planning to get married, already married, dating or divorcing. With a focus on relationship dynamics, communication, and building a foundation of trust, and empathy, Alexia works with clients who are looking to deepen their connection, resolve conflicts, or strengthen their bond. Whether working with couples preparing for marriage or those seeking to restore or enhance their current relationship, Alexia is passionate about creating a safe, supportive space for growth.

The therapy approach Alexia utilizes combines evidence-based techniques with Christian counseling principles. Alexia believes in the value of incorporating faith and spiritual growth into the therapeutic process, helping clients align their relationship goals with their values. The goal is to foster better communication, mutual understanding, and respect, guiding couples to a place of deeper connection and fulfillment. Clients can expect a compassionate, nonjudgmental environment where they can openly discuss their relationship concerns and successes.

With extensive experience in premarital counseling, dating dynamics, and helping couples work through conflict, Alexia brings a wealth of expertise to every session. Drawing from both therapeutic methods and a Christian perspective, Alexia is equipped to guide clients through a wide range of relationship issues, providing practical tools, spiritual insight, and support. This approach ensures that clients leave each session with actionable steps toward healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

Sessions are conducted exclusively via telehealth, allowing clients the flexibility to attend from the comfort of their own home. This remote format also offers convenience for busy schedules, ensuring that clients can prioritize their relationship growth without the added stress of travel. Availability for telehealth sessions is flexible, with options to accommodate different time zones and schedules. Clients can easily book appointments through the secure online platform provided.


Message to clients

I want you to know that my goal as a therapist is to support, empower, and encourage you as you work to grow individually and as a couple. I am here to help you navigate your challenges and provide a safe, compassionate space where you can be open and honest. You must come to our sessions as you are, without needing to hide or filter yourself. I value honesty in our work together because it helps us build a trusting relationship and make real progress. There are no secrets in session – everything is on the table, and I’m here to walk this journey with you.

Before we begin, I offer a free 15-minute consultation so we can get to know each other a bit and ensure that we’re a good fit for the work ahead. This time will help us assess whether our therapeutic dynamic is right for you, and give you a sense of what working together might feel like.

My hope for you is that you not only strengthen your bond as a couple but also flourish as individuals, growing toward the fullest version of yourselves. I’m excited to be a part of your journey and to help you build a foundation that lasts.
