She focuses on practical goal-setting while acknowledging that meaningful progress can stir strong emotions, and she works to help clients convert goals into sustainable change.

Alexandra specializes in stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes, and she also addresses related issues such as attachment challenges, communication problems, control issues, domestic violence, substance use concerns, feelings of emptiness, family conflict, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation or loneliness, questions of life purpose, midlife transitions, mood disorders, panic attacks, and post-traumatic stress. She aims to make sessions both productive and approachable so clients and families can make steady progress together.
