About Alexandrea

Are you sick of waking up anxious and not being able to sleep at night? Are you sick of feeling irritable most days or guilty for canceling plans because it feels overwhelming? Is the thought of going to work or a family gathering just too much? Do you find yourself talking yourself out of doing the list of tasks you have to complete? Allow me to assist you in conquering these tasks through the use of Cognitive behavioral therapy and behavioral activation techniques. I believe in the importance of guiding clients towards understanding the connection and impact their thoughts have on their feelings, experiences, and behaviors. Together we learn to identify, accept, and challenge these thoughts to adjust your perspective. We also focus on building motivation, implementing mindfulness & self-care into your daily routine. It is highly likely that you will have more ease in your life and more control over your emotions and mindset. My overall goal is to be that ONE person you feel comfortable being your authentic self with. Taking this step toward self-exploration and healing is both courageous and scary, so allow me to help you along this process!
