Hi there, I'm Alexandra!

Welcome! You've made a big step, and I'm proud of you for being here. Feeling anxious, down, or overwhelmed all the time is exhausting. My goal is to provide you with a safe and comfortable space to process through your thoughts and emotions while coming up with ways to manage life's challenges. You've made it through life utilizing many things that work, and I work to identify and build on these strengths in order to minimize/eliminate those other unhelpful ways that you cope. I specialize in working with teenagers and young adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I also work with adults who are seeking parenting support, specifically with birth-5 years old. My approach is collaborative and sessions oftentimes include deep listening, skill-building, and thought-challenging. I also enjoy some humor from time to time, because life is too short not to be serious all the time. I believe that each person deserves an individualized approach, and I work to tailor my approach to what works for you. I frequently incorporate aspects of cognitive behavioral therapy, TFCBT, dialectical behavior therapy, collaborative problem-solving, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, and more. In my spare time, I enjoy camping, hiking, gardening, and exploring the world around us.
