“Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.”
Meet Alexa
Hey! Who am I? I’m a lot of things (psychotherapist, yoga teacher, doctoral student, animal lover), but most importantly (as Irvin Yalom puts it) I’m a fellow traveler on the path. I’m a real, human person who is in a constant state of growth, learning, and transformation. I am both committed to doing my own inner work, and supporting others in doing theirs.
I view myself as a companion and guide for those wanting to take the journey inwards. I believe in the healing power of authentic connection, deep listening, and honest reflection. Our work together will create space for vulnerable moments, profound realizations, uninhibited emotions, and most likely - periodic belly laughs.
