​Alexa received her Bachelors in Fine Arts and a Masters in Clinical Social Work, both from New York University. Her post-graduate training, studies and practice have focused around trauma, grief and loss throughout transitions in the lives of women. She has been a therapist for adolescents, adults, couples and families for over 20 years.

Alexa started her clinical work helping women and couples manage the grief and anxiety around miscarriage, infertility and assisted reproduction after experiencing a lack of support during her own experience of repeated and late-term pregnancy loss. She has been a recommended therapist and run groups for Resolve, the National Infertility Organization. She also works with women getting reacquainted with, learning to accept and listen to their bodies after crisis, illness, divorce and loss, as well as with healing the disconnection from the body that often comes with disordered eating, compulsive exercise and/or substance abuse/addiction. She is a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor and an advocate for rejecting diet culture. Alexa uses a collaborative, holistic approach to working with body image and disordered eating. Brainspotting, parts work and mindful, contemplative and interoceptive practices are some modalities that she uses to work with body image, anxiety, depression and trauma.

A consistent student of life, and understanding that death is a natural part of it, Alexa sees individuals receiving chronic or terminal diagnoses, and provides grief counseling and support for their families around loss, or the impending/ ambiguous loss of a significant person. She completed Foundations at the Zen Center for Contemplative Care and continues to work as a spiritual caregiver and death doula for hospice patients and their families. She received Certification as a Grief Educator from David Kessler. In 2023, Alexa completed a year long program with IPI, the Integrative Psychiatry Institute, as a Certified Psychedelic- Assisted Psychotherapist.  She has worked with different modalities of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy to ease depression and existential distress. She has also utilized psychedelics to support connection, through grief, loss and end of life care. She currently collaborates with Journey Clinical as a Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapist.

Working with moving through grief, loss and trauma led Alexa to women getting out of abusive intimate relationships and supporting them to manage the separation and/ or divorce process with clarity and integrity. This work with women is focused on helping them to explore their attachment history, find their voices, regroup, and begin to rebuild their lives. She is certified as a High Conflict Divorce Coach/ Consultant through One Mom's Battle. Alexa is also certified as a Mediator in NY State with specialized training as a Marital Mediator, helping couples work though challenging issues and/or through the separation process. 

As both a psychotherapist and long-time yoga/ meditation teacher, Alexa has a holistic view of mental health that includes the entire person- physically, cognitively, emotionally and spiritually. She founded the now closed Yoga Sol, an accessible community Yoga Studio in Westchester, NY, and is a guest teacher running professional continuing education trainings with Little Flower Yoga. Her teaching focuses on the ways in which yoga affects the nervous system and how to foster emotional regulation, body awareness/ acceptance and resilience in both adolescents and adults. She currently teaches group and private yoga in Westchester, NY as well as on destination retreats.
