Educational consulting sessions can take the form of tutoring, planning, and/or advising. The goal is to provide a scaffold of support for learners and families to navigate challenges and experience successes.

In addition to providing remedial subject specific tutoring for Grades K to 12, sessions can help students increase organizational skills, responsibility, initiative, and self-regulation.

Families benefit from the opportunity to discuss problems with homework routines, remote learning or understanding grade-level expectations. Sessions can support the design or implementation of IEP (Individual Education Plans), determining if the student would benefit from psycho-educational assessment, and responding to teacher concerns.

Hi there, I’m Alex, and I’m here to support young men as they navigate life’s challenges. Whether it’s dealing with feelings of depression, anxiety, or low self-esteem, I understand how tough it can be to open up about these issues. I’ve been through it myself, and I’m dedicated to helping others find their way forward.

In my practice, I focus on creating a comfortable space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions. While I’m trained in various therapeutic approaches like CBT, Brainspotting, and narrative therapy, I also believe in the power of incorporating philosophy and physical health into our sessions. It’s not just about addressing immediate concerns; it’s about equipping you with the tools you need to thrive in the long run.

Nature plays a big role in my approach too. I’ve seen firsthand how spending time outdoors can bring a sense of calm and grounding to our lives, so I often incorporate nature-based activities into our work together.

If you’re looking for someone who understands what you’re going through and is committed to working alongside you, I’m here for you. Let’s team up to tackle whatever challenges you’re facing. I offer a free 30-minute “Try it” Session to see if we’re a good fit, and I provide both online and in-person sessions. Feel free to reach out anytime.
