About Alexa
I believe healing doesn't happen on a straight line. It's a journey, and a process, with room for setbacks, plateaus, and unexpected breakthroughs along the way. My work is grounded in that belief. I meet clients exactly where they are, without judgment, and remind them often: give yourself grace. So much of what brings people to therapy is a pattern of being hardest on themselves precisely when they need compassion the most.
​
I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, and trauma, helping them understand not just what they're feeling, but why, and how to build a genuine, sustainable relationship with themselves. I most often work alongside women and BIPOC adults, and I bring an awareness to our work together of the particular pressures, expectations, and systemic weight that can shape how anxiety, stress, and self-worth show up in those communities.
How I Work
Something I say to almost every client, especially in the moments they feel most discouraged: you are stronger than you give yourself credit for. Many of the people I work with have been carrying more than anyone around them realizes, for longer than they'd like to admit.
Part of my role is helping them see their own resilience clearly, not as a platitude, but as something we can point to, session after session, in the ways they keep showing up. My approach is collaborative and practical, focused on both understanding the deeper roots of what’s going on and building skills that support day-to-day life.
Therapy with me isn't about rushing toward "fixed." It's about building the kind of steady, compassionate relationship with yourself that makes real, lasting change possible. ​
Is this a good fit?
You might feel at home working with me if you're navigating anxiety, depression, stress, or trauma and are ready for a therapist who will hold space for your full story, not just the parts that are easy to talk about.
If you're someone who's hard on yourself, who's been "doing fine" for a long time but is ready to actually feel fine, we'd probably work well together.
