Hi, I’m Alessandra. I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and EMDRIA Certified Therapist™ with more than 11 years of experience. Many of the adults I work with are used to holding everything together for everyone else, even while feeling anxious, overwhelmed, hard on themselves, or affected by the past. I specialize in trauma and PTSD, anxiety, self-doubt, people-pleasing, and difficulty setting boundaries or making room for your own needs. I also offer FND-informed psychotherapy for adults navigating Functional Neurological Disorder, chronic health concerns, medical trauma, and changes in their health. EMDR is the foundation of my work. It can involve focusing on a memory, emotion, belief, or body sensation while using guided eye movements, alternating sounds, or tapping. EMDR can help past experiences feel less immediate and reduce how strongly they affect you today. I also draw from mindfulness, person-centered therapy, and practical CBT skills. I offer extended EMDR intensives for clients who would benefit from more uninterrupted time. My style is warm, collaborative, and active. You do not need to arrive with everything figured out or share everything at once. I will take time to understand what you have been carrying, ask thoughtful questions, and welcome honest feedback. Together, we can work toward helping you feel less overwhelmed, trust yourself more, and make room for your needs and relationships.
