how she works
Alexandra believes that the best form of advocacy is showing up for someone and demonstrating through empathetic engagement that you see them, hear them, and understand them. She views the therapeutic relationship as something sacred – a space that transcends traditional boundaries where she shows up unconditionally as your teammate, cheerleader, and trusted companion on your journey.
Alexandra’s approach is grounded in therapeutic modalities including, but not limited to, trauma-informed care, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). Alexandra has completed Levels 1 and 2 in Gottman Method Couples Therapy, which informs her work with couples and families, where she helps clients strengthen communication, navigate conflict with greater understanding, and foster deeper connection. She has also completed specialized training in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), an evidence-based approach that helps clients process distressing experiences, work through unresolved trauma, and develop a greater sense of safety and empowerment in their lives.
When working with Alexandra, you can expect a judgement-free zone where you can bring your complete, authentic self to each session. She prioritizes listening first and meeting you where you are, respecting that you are the expert on your own life. Through thoughtful moments of connection and shared humanity, Alexandra aims to cultivate a collaborative partnership where her clients feel empowered to explore, grow, and work toward the goals that matter most to them.
