01 · Who Alexandra works with
Alexandra lists 4 specialisms and 5 further focus areas. Specialisms are the subjects Alexandra chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.
02 · In Alexandra's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
I'm a therapist with nearly a decade of experience supporting clients through meaningful personal growth and healing. I bring deep expertise in working with individuals who have experienced trauma, struggle with depression and anxiety, and LGBTQ+ individuals and communities. I'm committed to creating an affirming, nonjudgmental space where you can show up authentically.
My approach is grounded in person-centered care and cultural responsiveness. Every client I come in contact with is unique. They are unique in their personal interests, beliefs, behaviors, and needs. I am a trauma informed clinician. My theoretical approach involves integrating somatic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, reality therapy, and mindfulness techniques. I work collaboratively with you to explore what matters most and to build sustainable paths toward the life you envision.
I draw from evidence-based therapeutic practices to support you through a range of concerns, including identity exploration, relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. My goal is to walk alongside you with genuine care, curiosity, and respect, creating a therapeutic relationship built on trust and authenticity.
Taking the step to seek therapy takes courage, and I'm honored to support you on your journey.

03 · What happens next
Alexandra practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Alexandra's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Alexandra at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Alexandra is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Alexandra.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
04 · Before you commit
Built from what Alexandra actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Alexandra's - Alexandra has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.
“How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”
Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.
“How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”
On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.
