About With Intention

Therapy with Alexandra.

Warmth for the work. Candor for the pattern.

Boulder, Colorado Telehealth throughout Colorado

A philosophy of change

Let your patterns be an honest expression of the person you want to be, not old, reactive behaviors.

I believe people are capable of changing personal and relational patterns that are no longer working for them. The work is not always comfortable, but it can be deeply meaningful and enjoyable to become more aware of yourself, understand the people you love, and experiment with a different way of relating.

I am based in Boulder, Colorado and specialize in therapy for couples, relationships, sex and intimacy, and individuals. I work with adults, couples, and teens 15+, and I welcome a wide range of identities and relationship configurations.

There is no prescribed way a person, relationship, or family should look. The work is to understand what matters most to you and move toward greater connection and compassion.

Warmth + Candor

Present, playful, and collaborative.

My path to becoming a therapist has been shaped by curiosity across disciplines, places, languages, and ways of being human. I want therapy to feel like a place where you can be honest without being judged. I may gently challenge you, point out a pattern I am noticing, or ask the question you have been avoiding.

My goal is to reflect your patterns more clearly and support you to engage your agency to create new relational experiences.

I offer tools to understand and practice, so insight becomes integration. You are the expert on your life; I am here to help you make choices aligned with your values and understand what is happening between you and the people you love. I am interested in what comes after insight and self-awareness and foster a space to answer the question “now what?” We build skills for interrupting repeating patterns and take an intentional next step toward a different way of being.

A path shaped by curiosity

Learning across places, disciplines, and ways of understanding what makes us human.

My education brings together language, biology, and the study of relationships. I earned a BA in French and Biology in Portland, Oregon, completed Regis University's MA in Marriage and Family Therapy (MFT) program, and took additional courses to complete course requirements for the MA Counseling program. My clinical approach is described in more detail below.

I studied abroad for a year in France and a year in Spain, and spent a month in Colombia. In Barcelona, I lived as an artist apprentice to a French ceramics artist. I am from Colorado and later moved to Boulder to be close to family. I still love ceramics, spending time outside, dancing, traveling, sailing, diving, snowboarding, and cooking.

Training

Ongoing learning informs the work.

My professional training includes an Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Externship and Relational Life Therapy (RLT) training. These experiences contribute to a relational, engaged way of working that makes room for emotional experience, accountability, and practical changes in how people relate.

I draw on training as one resource, not a script. Therapy is shaped around the people in the room, the concern they bring, and what they want to understand or practice.

What informs the work

An integrative, relational perspective.

My approach draws from attachment-based, systemic, experiential, and relational therapies. I am interested in attachment history, nervous-system and body awareness, culture, and lived experience—and in how each of these shapes what happens between people. I am trained in systemic work as a Marriage and Family Therapist candidate (MFTC).

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic approaches, Narrative Therapy, Relational Life Therapy, and a systemic lens inform the work. They are not a script; the process is shaped around you.
