About me

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 14 years of experience in the mental health field.

In my private practice, I help my clients find their spark and passion back into their lives by helping them to develop tools that will lead to greater self-awareness, awareness of others, and mindfulness practices.

After overcoming my own struggle with anxiety through yoga and mindfulness practices, I decided to pursue further training as a yoga teacher and incorporate holistic healing practices in therapy.
Now, I teach clients how to practice yoga, breathing exercises, and mindfulness during our sessions together so they can live the life they were meant to without holding themselves back.

My ultimate goal is to assist people in finding their life purpose and living it fully!

Love working with her. She has this interesting approach where she is able to relate to you and create a very calming environment like you’re talking to a friend, but also maintains professionalism the entire time! Really helps to create the space to ensure you feel comfortable and safe.

Alexandra is a wonderful therapist. She is a great listener--open, compassionate, understanding and non-judgmental. She has a gentle and thoughtful way of guiding me through complex issues. She is very positive and her feedback is constructive, purposeful and practical to implement. I always leave our sessions feeling lighter and more hopeful.
