Clinical Psychotherapy & Creative Arts Therapy

As a Therapist...

You might be thinking, “what is dance/movement therapy and how can it help me? I’m not a dancer!” Dance/movement therapy is more than “dance,” “movement,” or “exercise.”

By deeply understanding the connection between our mind, body, and spirit, we can feel more empowered, safe, and confident within our own skin. Through body-based techniques and exploration, I help to establish goals and enable my clients to work toward a greater sense of health and well-being. Through the use of movement and body awareness, together, we can make the changes you are seeking.

I strive to help you through building a strong, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship, one in which you can feel comfortable enough to explore issues and build upon your strengths. While you guide this process, I will encourage and challenge you along the way.

In my practice as a trauma informed dance/movement psychotherapist, I can help you to understand your physical and emotional responses to stress and trauma, and its impact on relationships. By understanding how trauma can deeply impact lives, I work with you towards safely uncovering your resilience that lives behind trauma.

Frameworks…

I draw upon frameworks such as Trauma-Informed Dance/Movement Therapy, Humanism, Polyvagal Theory, and some DBT Concepts. I incorporate the use of creativity to enhance the therapeutic process, self-exploration, and confidence in relationships.

"" I can't imagine where I would be had I not had Alexa as my Supervisor. With tremendously felt intention and care, Alexa supported and nurtured my growth making known that she had my back and believed in me every step of the way. Through moments of self-doubt and internal friction, she created a supervisory space that both empowered me and challenged me to be self-reflective and constantly curious. Alexa endowed in me the invaluable ability to feel capable and safe enough to take important risks during my time as an intern that have been crucial to my development as a clinician, particularly for my self-confidence and resilience. Her unwavering commitment and respect for me and my growth was palpable, always sharing resources to supplement my learning and role-modeling qualities that, still to this day, I strive to emulate. Through having opportunities to observe Alexa with patients, I had the privilege of witnessing and learning what deeply compassionate care really looks like. Her unconditional positive regard for every patient, her ability to develop a therapeutic rapport with absolutely anyone, and her focus on centering cultural humility and consciousness in all of her interactions, set an important standard for me as a therapist and human."

"Alexa was my onsite supervisor at my first year internship as a Dance/Movement Therapy clinical intern. Alexa is a thorough clinical practitioner and supervisor. Observing her helped me better understand the nuanced applications of Dance/Movement Therapy in a psychiatric ward. On a personal level, I found her to be patient, welcoming, responsive and emotionally available towards me. For an international student like me, her cultural curiosity, openness and humility were reassuring. I couldn’t have asked for a better guide and mentor at the start of my professional exposure. I shall be forever grateful to her for sharing her practice with me.”
