Helping you connect more deeply with yourself and others.
I invite you to consider that what you may feel is “wrong” with you may be a reasonable reaction to pain. Oftentimes, the behaviors causing the most difficulty are simply our best attempts at feeling better. My passion is to support you in reclaiming these parts of yourself and moving towards a sense of wholeness. I find that therapy is indeed a spiral path: together we hold multiple truths, perspectives, and feelings at once, and revisit earlier themes with deeper clarity.
I help individuals and couples to slow down so we may notice what happens emotionally, cognitively, and physiologically in difficult moments. Here, we can better understand ourselves and others, clarify the stories you believe or assumptions you’ve made, tend to overwhelming emotion and hurt, shift behavior, and cultivate a sense of connection and belonging.
I strive to embody radical inclusion, antiracism, and cultural humility. I enjoy working with and affirming clients of all backgrounds, races, abilities, and sexual and gender identities and welcome conversations about our experiences.
I believe in your innate capacity for healing, wisdom, and growth. Whether you are looking to heal trauma, improve your relationships, cope effectively, or better understand yourself, I’d love to support you in creating sustainable change.
Hello, I’m Alexandria, a licensed clinical social worker working with adult individuals and couples across Virginia. I specialize in attachment wounds, relationships, trauma, emotional overwhelm/dysregulation, and parenting. These may show up as emotional avoidance, anxiety, depression, disconnection, people-pleasing, staying too busy, self-doubt, and looking to others for answers rather than ourselves. I provide talk therapy as well as experiential and somatic approaches and show up with authenticity, curiosity, acceptance, and challenging questions.
I find that with a little context, we all make so much sense. While it may feel counterintuitive or even scary, I know that letting emotions in helps them to ultimately become lighter. My job is to help you hold heavy feelings so they have the space and safety to be expressed. I find that once we begin to care for these feelings, they become quieter and take up less space in our lives.
