I once heard that finding a good therapist is like discovering your favorite flavor of ice cream. Counseling is not one size fits all. I focus primarily on the creation of a warm atmosphere to dissolve barriers to a joyful authentic life. In order to see results of therapy, I believe there must be a strong therapeutic relationship. I am a non judgmental advocate for my clients. I believe that having an anchor of strength and support is an aspect of therapy that is life changing. Therapy can be a catalyst to create peace, change, joy, and self awareness. I would love to take this journey with you.

As a counselor, my goal is to help clients gain insight and peace of mind to feel more confident in navigating life's challenges, traumas, circumstances, and relationships. I enjoy helping people discover and develop healthy processing and decision-making. I especially value helping people who have had prior ineffective or negative therapy experiences because I know it can be difficult to tell the difference between a strong therapeutic connection and "venting." Good therapy isn't "just talking" or "venting." Good therapy helps you find healing and understanding that builds hope and confidence within your real world.

Adolescents and youth have always been my passion since I got into the field of social work. For the past three years, I have served the families in the North Hall community and helped them to advocate for change.

Coming to a therapist is an enlightening experience, it can make a once chaotic and out of control life become peaceful and have meaning. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy as my main methods for therapy; however, I draw from other therapy types to give my clients the best therapeutic experience. I love working with children, adolescents and adults. My experience lies in behavior management, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, life changes, adjustment issues and addiction issues as it related to the addict and to the family. I see a lot children from blended and divorced families.

Life is hard, often times we feel like we have more than we can bare. That's where a helping hand and friendly face can be crucial and needed. I'd be honored to be that person. The story of our life is not defined by a few bad chapters. It is in the bad chapters that we grow the most. I would love to come along side of you and your loved ones to help you navigate these challenges. I feel most of our challenges in life could be solved by understanding our worldview and others worldview. This is a calling for me and I am honored to support you and your family.

Hey there! It's Alexandra. I'm glad you're here! I'm a big believer that healing comes in the context of relationship. As a therapist, I desire to create space for my clients to experience the warmth of relational connection and wonder for their life. I would be especially honored to work with your preschool and elementary kiddos utilizing play therapy techniques. I also very much enjoy working with preteens, teenagers, and young adult women, particularly those who are struggling to find purpose, navigate life transitions, and those who feel stuck in dealing with depression, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive tendencies.

I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, life changes, or have other concerns. I enjoy working with college-aged students who may have some anxiety or stress surrounding this life transition. Many clients hope to gain an understanding of why they feel anxious or stressed, and how to overcome these feelings. I can assist in helping to quiet the noise, or even just provide a listening ear to those who may need to talk.
