Hi, I’m Alexa!
A Culturally Affirming & LQBTQ+ Trauma Therapist in Los Angeles, California who’s in this (the mess, the feels, and the uncertainty) with you.
I love helping people find their way back to themselves — the version that isn't performing, apologizing, or shrinking to fit. I strive to live as liberated and fully expressed as I can, too.
I deeply value humor, both in life and in therapy, and believe that a shared laugh between people can be profoundly healing.
My pets have been a meaningful part of my own healing journey, and genuinely, they've gotten me through it. I am an advocate for the comfort, connection, and support animals can offer.
Education & Training
I’m a professionally educated, license-holding therapist, and a living, breathing work-in-progress who understands the meaningful experience of her own therapy journey.
-
I received Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University

-
Rather than relying on rigid, one-size-fits-all clinical frameworks, I utilize advanced, trauma-focused modalities like EMDR to help people process stress where it actually lives: in the nervous system.
