Great to meet you!

Hi! I’m Alexandra—your partner in healing, and growth.

When I was little, I used to say I wanted to be a “Feelings Doctor.” I didn’t know exactly what that meant, but I knew I wanted to help people feel better—emotionally and mentally. I started college at 16 and initially pursued pre-med, but I quickly realized that the clinical world wasn’t where I felt most at home. What truly called to me was connecting with people, understanding their stories, and helping them heal from the inside out.

I grew up in one of the poorest areas of Colombia, and those early experiences taught me the power of resilience, community, and hope. I saw how vital emotional support is when life gets hard—and that’s what led me to psychology. It gave me the tools to do what I’ve always wanted: walk alongside others as they navigate life’s challenges and rediscover their strength.

As a licensed mental health counselor, I specialize in helping people manage anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, insomnia, and more. I’m trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and I work with children, teens, and adults. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or just not like yourself, I’m here to help you find clarity, confidence, and calm.

Outside of therapy, I’m a runner (yes, I run for fun!), a guitar enthusiast, and a sci-fi lover—currently reading Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler. I love dancing with friends, cooking while video chatting with my family back home, and traveling whenever I can. These moments of connection, whether across a kitchen or across continents, remind me of the joy and strength we find in togetherness.

I speak both English and Spanish fluently, and I’m passionate about creating a safe, inclusive space where you can be fully yourself.

Healing isn’t always easy—but you don’t have to do it alone. I’d be honored to walk this path with you.

My approach to therapy

As a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist, I specialize in helping clients identify and modify unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors that are contributing to their emotional distress. I empower clients to effectively manage their emotions, improve their problem-solving skills, and work towards achieving their personal goals.

What you can expect from me

During our initial sessions, we will explore the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you improve your quality of life. Most of my clients see gradual progress of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.
