02 · In Alexandra's own words

What Alexandra says about the work

Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.

I'm a therapist dedicated to supporting individuals through life's most meaningful challenges. With experience across diverse areas, I work with clients navigating relationship dynamics, trauma recovery, parenting concerns, and self-esteem issues. I'm particularly skilled at helping people process life transitions and build resilience.

My approach centers on fostering self-compassion, improving communication, and addressing isolation and loneliness. I work with clients exploring life purpose, managing anxiety and panic, and healing from abandonment and attachment wounds. I also support individuals working through guilt, shame, and forgiveness-as well as those facing family-of-origin patterns and control issues.

I have a special focus on supporting women through pregnancy, childbirth, and women's health concerns, as well as men navigating their unique experiences. I work with young adults, caregivers managing stress, and individuals at life's end stages seeking meaning and peace.

My therapeutic approach is grounded in compassion, cultural awareness, and genuine partnership. I believe healing happens when you feel truly heard and supported. I'm honored to walk alongside you as you move toward greater wholeness and authenticity.

03 · What happens next

From this page to a first session

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.

1. A questionnaire, not a booking form

   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.

2. Naming Alexandra specifically

   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.

3. If the caseload is full

   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.

4. The first conversation

   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.

5. If the fit is wrong

   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

2 questions worth asking Alexandra

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.

06 · Provenance

Where every line on this page came from

Alexandra's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 9 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.

The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.

Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Alexandra. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
