I'm Alexa, a Bay Area therapist offering virtual therapy throughout California. I help adults, teens and couples untangle the experiences and relationship patterns that continue to shape how they relate to themselves and others - often rooted in trauma, attachment wounds or early relationships. I also work with clients navigating anxiety, dating, relationship challenges, and the lasting impact of growing up with a parent who struggled with a personality disorder.

Many of the people I work with have spent years trying to understand themselves. They've read the books, listened to the podcasts, or even been in therapy before. They know their past has shaped them, yet they're still wondering why understanding it hasn't made things feel different.

My approach is both conversational and intentional. I want therapy to feel like a place where you can be completely yourself while also being gently challenged to notice patterns, make new connections, and respond differently when old wounds show up. I'll offer compassion when you need it and gently challenge you when you're ready, always at a pace that feels manageable.

Outside of work, life is usually pretty simple: my two dogs, Monday and Little, good coffee, the people I love and a comfort movie I've already seen more times than I'd like to admit.
