Welcome and thank you for taking the time to read about my approach to therapy, as well as taking this first step in finding a therapist that feels right for you. I have a Master’s Degree in Counseling with a concentration in Art Therapy, as well as a Master's Degree in Education. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 9 years of experience. I use a Client-Centered approach in which your experiences, emotions, thoughts and feelings are encouraged and honored. I practice empathic listening and believe in the inherent goodness of each person and feel we are all capable of navigating any problem or situation with the right support, tools and guidance. As a new Mother, I can also help with new feelings and changes that go along with parenthood. An integral aspect of our work together is building a safe, caring and trusting relationship in which we can work through and difficulties you are facing. I also utilize CBT, DBT, Mindfulness and Brief-Solution Focused Therapy where we may explore and practice new skills, as well as collaborative goal setting, to create change. I have worked with clients of every age, in a variety of settings including schools, treatment centers and residential treatment facilities, nursing homes and trauma centers. I have experience working with depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship issues, trauma, career changes, grief and loss, and issues around identity. I look forward to working with you!

My sessions with Alexa over the past five months have been incredibly helpful to my personal growth and relationships. In particular, with setting and communicating boundaries. Alexa is a skilled listener and great at prompting conversation and ideas, as well as offering alternative resources to complement the therapy sessions if that is helpful to you. We also worked together using Art Therapy techniques during some sessions. Being an art-lover this helped me to pick up and express themes and feelings that I might not have consciously brought up otherwise. I highly recommend working with her!

I've been talking with Alexa for 2 weeks now, and in that short time she has given me a lot of insight into what causes my issues, as well as a variety of different coping tools. She is extremely pleasant to talk with during live sessions, and any time I message her with questions or concerns, she replies quickly and is always insightful, and helpful. Highly recommend!
