Alexandra’s practice is informed by existentialism, feminist theory, mindfulness and relational psychology, these approaches allow her to guide clients towards a deeper understanding of themselves and the beliefs and behaviors that lead to greater suffering. She works to help clients get in touch with their desires and goals and to reconnect with others to allow a more authentic, meaningful and fulfilling life.
