Alex is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and earned a Masters in Family Therapy from Friends University. Alex chose Marriage and Family training due to its relational model. Alex believes "most of our challenges in life are due to our desire to have more healthy relationships with others." Emotional intelligence is an important part of making connections and having influence. Alex specializes in emotional intelligence instruction, modeling, and mentoring. We optimally need to experience one modeling emotional intelligence, because it is very difficult to learn reading a book about it. One needs the actually hand-on coaching experience. His inspirations are mentors in the industry such as Brene Brown, Gabor Mate, Dr. John Gottman, John Bradshaw, Dr. Sue Johnson, Daniel Goldman, and Dr. Richard Schwartz.

Alex is proud of the fact that he went back to school at the age of 52 after a successful career in computer sales selling at all business levels including the executive. For this reason, he also specializes in therapy to business professionals at all levels due to his experience in industry and his ability to speak their language from experience. "Alex finds it to be an extremely common experience that business professionals who are successful in the business world, still struggle at home at times with their own spouse and children." Asking for help in this area takes courage and confidence and should be as seamless and easy as taking a business class. He defines empathy as actually being helpful to the other, and if the other says we are not helpful, then empathy is a growth area. Call and challenge me about this. Alex adds "I believe if I knew in my sales career what I know now, I would have been twice as effective as a business professional."
Alex was raised on a farm, earned degree in Business Administration. Then earned a Masters in Family Therapy later in life. His life experience includes marriage, divorce, and remarriage. He is currently a part of a successful blended family. He has experienced the loss of a brother 38 years ago, and loss both of his parents in the past 20 years. He has training in grief counseling and personal experience as well. He feels his life experience weighs equally with the hands-on training he received at Friends University.
