Hi there, I'm Alexandra!

I am so glad you took this first step of reaching out for support! Whether you want to navigate difficulties in your life, repair a relationship, or build a strong foundation for your mental and emotional wellness. I am here to help you.

My focus

I focus on helping clients develop emotional resilience, improve relationships, and build coping skills to manage life's challenges through evidence-based practices. Most importantly, I believe in building a strong therapeutic relationship so clients feel safe. supported and empowered to heal.

My approach

I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which focuses on increasing resilience and helping you build a life that feels worth living. The goal is to help you identify and change behavioral, emotional, cognitive, and interpersonal patterns that create difficulties in your daily life.

My communication style

I prioritize clear communication to create a supportive environment. I practice active listening and provide opportunities for reflection.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist began with a strong desire to understand people and help them navigate life's challenges. Over the years, I've seen how emotional struggles can affect every part of a person's life, from relationships and work to overall well-being.

My goals for you

I help clients reach their goals by focusing on measurable progress and symptom reduction. Goals often include decreasing the frequency or intensity of negative symptoms and improving daily functioning. I regularly monitor symptoms, coping strategies, and overall well-being to support sustainable change and recovery.

Our first session

Our first session is a chance for us to get to know one another. We'll talk about your background and what's bringing you to therapy, and I'll answer any questions you have about the process. It's normal to feel nervous. We'll take things one step at a time, and I'll be here to guide and support you along the way.
