Dr. Alexa has been an excellent support for me as I transitioned from full-time worker to part-time worker/retired person. Exercises were designed specifically for me and the work I needed to do to learn how to incorporate coping mechanisms and identify messages that I had for my past that were no longer helpful.

Dr Alex is the therapist I have been looking for my whole life. She has been a life saver. She has given me coping tools thar really work. I look forward to my weekly sessions. I love that I can communicate with her outside of the sessions as well. She responds quickly as well as she sends me encouraging messages throughout the week. I look forward to those messages.She is just amazing.

She is a kind and genuine person. It is easy to be relaxed during our sessions, as I feel heard but not judged. All around, she's punctual, respectful, and knowledgeable.
