Please Note: The only type of OHP that I am able to take is CareOregon. If you are struggling with the impacts of trauma, abuse, or loss (no matter how far in the past), there is hope. Using a trauma-informed, client-centered, and strengths-based approach to counseling, we will create a safe space for collaborative work and healing. We can also use mindfulness, somatic, and creative therapies if you feel drawn to that kind of work. I have particular experience working with people who have been impacted by sexual trauma; PTSD that feels out of control; family/relationship issues; attachment wounding; and significant loss.

I incorporate over 25 years of mind/body experience with studies in couple/ family systems, humanistic psychology and interpersonal neurobiology.
Either working with an individual, couple or family, I come from the perspective that every person is wired for connection and seeks growth to embody their wisdom and wholeness. Individuals can heal from past experiences, move through difficult transitions, and learn to tolerate the stresses of modern life. When we are disconnected from our natural capacity, we can experience life as intolerable and forget our inherent worth. I believe in a collaborative approach to not only find relief from problems, but also to restore health and a sense of internal wholeness.

Combining Hakomi and Internal Family Systems (IFS), I use a mindful, body-centered, attachment oriented and relational approach.
I work from a holistic view of the interconnectedness of body, mind, and spirit, believing in an innate drive toward health. I see old patterns not as pathologies, but as past coping strategies that may now be outdated. Many of us grew up in families that had to adjust to adverse circumstances, oppressive societal beliefs and intergenerational trauma and inherited their beliefs and coping mechanisms. Together we can appreciate the ways these served and protected while updating these strategies to fit present day life and dreams.

Welcome. My name is Alexandria (she/her). I help people repair relationships, connect back to the body, and nurture a love of self. We will work to understand how your family of origin and cultural influences shape you, freeing you to choose how you show up in the world. From years of teaching yoga, I have a deep regard for the connection between mind and body.

This inclusive philosophy integrates a variety of therapeutic techniques such as somatic therapy, Internal Family Systems, DBT, ACT, and intuitive expression.
Imagine finally feeling like your true self, no longer overwhelmed or caught in a cycle of frustration from life's relentless challenges. Envision a space where supportive guidance gently unravels the burdens you've carried—be it relationship issues, stress, anxiety, the depths of depression, grief, or the shadows of past trauma—revealing the essence of who you are. I've been there too, caught in the same exhausting cycles that hold us back from truly living, and I understand the courage it takes to seek change. With a trauma-informed lens, I am deeply committed to guiding you through breaking free from life's overwhelming cycles.

Growing up in a dysfunctional family, being in a toxic or abusive relationship, or experiencing the horrors of a traumatic event can set you on a collision course with daily triggers to anger, sadness, overwhelm, panic, or dissociation. Maybe you notice your reactions in your relationships are causing harm, and you regularly experience the dreaded “shame spiral.” You minimize your pain, or others regularly do. If this is you, I’m glad you’re here. Long-term healing is possible. Even if only a small part of you hopes for change, I'm confident it's enough to start the journey toward a peaceful and thriving life.

For most people, strong relationships are an important indicator of health and well-being. When we feel stuck in old patterns that no longer serve us, our connection to others suffers too, which can turn up as depression, anxiety, or simply feeling alone and disconnected. By reconnecting with our essential gifts and strengths through the therapy process, we in turn can offer more to family, friends, and community.
