Alexandra is spectacular! I started with her to help me get through challenges related to the pandemic as I work in healthcare. Still an ongoing issue for me but I’m surviving with her help. Also dealing with other life stuff including breaking a huge financially draining enabling cycle with my only son and his family. I would have been working until I dropped dead if not for her!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

She’s just awesome and professional and knows her stuff! She has been so helpful.
Alex has been more than a blessing in so many ways. She has gone above and beyond to help me turn my life around completely. I am so grateful for her time and help along my healing journey and highly recommend her to anyone looking for help themselves. Thank you Alex. Best of wishes to you along your own beautiful journey!
I had a previous counselor that I couldn’t seem to connect with. Alexandra has been amazing. I’ve come some far because of her.
She has done more in 4 weeks than my last attempt in a year
Alexandra has been incredible. Her insight had really helped uncover things in me I didn’t know were there and there has been so much breakthrough. She knows how to offer counsel in a way that aligns with my values and worldview, and she checks in during the week. Working with her has been such a helpful experience!
