​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 life transitions. She has been a therapist for adolescents, adults, couples and families for 25 years.

Alexa's clinical work began with supporting women and couples through the grief and anxiety of miscarriage, infertility, and assisted reproduction after experiencing inadequate support during her own repeated and late-term pregnancy losses. She started her private practice almost 25 years ago to help women reconnect with and trust their bodies following trauma, illness, divorce, and loss. She works with clients healing from body disconnection caused by avoidant coping strategies- including disordered eating, compulsive exercise, and substance abuse or addiction. Alexa integrates self-compassion, parts work, ACT and other contemplative and interoceptive practices to address grief, anxiety, depression, body image challenges, and also to encourage post-traumatic growth.

Alexa works with individuals facing chronic or terminal diagnoses and provides grief counseling to families who are navigating loss or the anticipated loss of a loved one and/or a major life change. She completed Foundations training at the NY Zen Center for Contemplative Care and is a Certified Grief Educator through David Kessler. She has volunteered in hospice as a spiritual caregiver. 
​
In 2023, Alexa completed a year-long program with the Integrative Psychiatry Institute and graduated as a Certified Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapist. She uses psychedelic-assisted and transpersonal psychotherapy to address depression, existential distress, grief, loss, trauma, and end-of-life. She collaborates with Journey Clinical as a Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapist.

Alexa's practice currently centers around helping people navigate challenging intimate relationships and separations due to loss or divorce with clarity and integrity. She supports clients in exploring attachment patterns, understanding their nervous systems, finding their authentic values and voices as well rebuilding their lives.
She is certified as a High Conflict Divorce Coach/Consultant, Mediator (with specialized training in Marital Mediation), and Parenting Coordinator. Her extensive training and experience enable her to guide divorcing parents through conflict and separation while prioritizing children's developmental and attachment needs in all decisions and negotiations.

As both a psychotherapist and long-time yoga and meditation teacher, Alexa takes a holistic view of mental health and wellness that encompasses the whole person—physically, cognitively, emotionally, and spiritually.
