Alexandra works with children (ages 5+), teens, young adults, parents, and families, creating a safe and empathetic environment where clients can heal, learn, and grow. She believes people are designed for meaningful, secure relationships and that behavioral and emotional challenges can often be understood within the context of relationships, family systems, and the ways we learn to communicate our needs.

Alexandra is especially passionate about helping parents who feel unsure of where to begin when their child is struggling. She has developed a parent-led approach to counseling that allows growth within the family system to begin before a child ever steps into the counseling room. Through education, practical tools, and increased understanding of their child's needs, she helps parents feel more confident navigating the changing and often challenging seasons of parenthood.

From a neurodiversity-affirming perspective, Alexandra helps children and teens develop confidence in their identities and their ability to navigate the world around them. She also works with young adults who are navigating independence, identity, relationships, and the transition into adulthood. Using a trauma-informed lens, Alexandra works alongside clients as they make sense of their experiences, develop greater autonomy, and begin to own their stories. Alexandra also cares deeply about healthy family systems. She helps families strengthen connection, improve communication, navigate conflict, and develop healthier patterns within their relationships.

Alexandra received her Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a focus in Addictions Counseling from the University of North Georgia and her bachelor's degree in Psychology with a minor in Applied Statistics. She is trained in EMDR for trauma treatment and AutPlay Therapy, an affirming approach for neurodivergent children, teens, and families. Alexandra is a Licensed Professional Counselor and board certified by the National Board for Certified Counselors (NBCC). She also serves as an adjunct professor at the University of North Georgia.

Outside of the counseling room, Alexandra enjoys hiking with her husband and baby boy, finding new ice cream spots, running, trying new recipes, listening to live music, and spending time outside with a cup of coffee and a good book or podcast.

A note from Alexandra —

Taking the first step toward healing can feel overwhelming, especially when you aren't sure where to begin—for yourself or for your child. I believe counseling is a collaborative relationship, and you don't have to figure everything out before you walk through the door. I am here to work alongside you as we make sense of what's happening, build practical tools, strengthen connection, and help you or your family move forward with greater confidence. You are never doing this work alone.
