About Alexa

Together we'll explore how your past influences your present and how past relationships and attachment shape your well-being. You’ll learn to manage your emotions and gain insights into the connections between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

My approach

I want to help you detach your sense of worth from how others perceive you. We'll explore how your past influences your present and how past relationships and attachment shape your well-being. You’ll learn to manage your emotions and gain insights into the connections between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

More background

I work with people who’ve learned to be the one who holds everything together even when it’s hurting them. Many of my clients feel guilty to put themselves first and act as the go-to problem solver for others. If you’re stuck in people-pleasing, overthinking every decision, or walking on eggshells with someone you care about, you’re likely responding to old patterns that once helped you survive.

Together we'll explore how your past influences your present and how past relationships and attachment shape your well-being. You’ll learn to manage your emotions and gain insights into the connections between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In sessions with me you will learn to stop abandoning yourself and start showing up for you.

We’ll work at a pace that feels safe, without the pressure to be perfect. If this speaks to you, I’d be honored to support you. If you are interested in working together, I encourage you to reach out!
