About
She specializes in working with children as young as 5, teens, and young adults as they navigate life's many transitions. In her practice, Alexa often incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to build individualized tools for emotional regulation, healthier relationships, and a deeper sense of self-awareness. She focuses on person-centered principles, creating a compassionate, collaborative, and deeply respectful space for her clients. Alexa believes that healing is a gradual process, much like tending to a garden, requiring patience, intention, and trust in the process. Even when growth isn't visible on the surface, meaningful change is often happening quietly beneath the soil.
