Step into the confidence and relief of trusting who you are.

Welcome—I'm Alexandra, a licensed therapist providing virtual psychotherapy to adults across New York State, including NYC.

I specialize in helping thoughtful adults who struggle with self-doubt, people-pleasing, anxiety, and relationship patterns that leave them feeling overwhelmed or disconnected from themselves. Many of my clients are deeply attuned to others and have spent years anticipating needs, smoothing tension, or quietly questioning their own reactions.

In therapy, we work to understand these patterns, loosen the shame that can come with difficult emotions, and build a more trusting relationship with yourself. Over time, clients often feel less burdened by old dynamics, more confident in their voice and needs, and better able to show up in their lives and relationships as their authentic selves.

Together we can help you:

  • Trust yourself and your choices—feel more confident in who you are and what you want

  • Reconnect with your needs—honor them without guilt or fear

  • Set healthy boundaries—with partners, family, friends, or coworkers, while letting go of people-pleasing

  • Quiet your inner critic—step free from perfectionism and self-judgment

  • Navigate life transitions—breakups, career changes, or becoming a parent with clarity and self-assurance

  • Process difficult emotions and losses—without feeling overwhelmed

  • Live with more ease and confidence—feeling grounded in your sense of self

    Art Therapy

    Art therapy uses the creative process to access thoughts and feelings that can be difficult to reach through talk therapy alone. Through imagery and hands-on expression, many clients gain new clarity, experience emotional release, and deepen their connection to themselves. For more info, see my Art Therapy FAQ page.

    Mindfulness Based Therapy (MBT)

    With a background in mindfulness, I integrate practices that help you develop a steadier, more compassionate awareness of your thoughts, feelings, and body sensations. Mindfulness can support nervous system regulation and has been shown to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress, and chronic pain, offering a grounded, present-centered way to approach healing.

    Parts Work & IFS

    Parts work is a way of understanding the different “parts” inside you. You might have a part that worries, a part that wants to please others, or a part that feels overwhelmed. By noticing these parts with curiosity instead of judgment, you can start to feel more calm, grounded, and in control of your emotions. This approach can help reduce internal conflict, heal old wounds, handle life’s challenges with more ease, and support conditions like PTSD, anxiety, and depression by promoting long-term emotional regulation and inner balance.
