“Working with Alex is most simply described as an organic, full exploration. She is deeply skilled and patient, knowing that you may start therapy for a whole list of stated reasons but that you need time to figure out what really needs work and attention. She can go anywhere with you – deep visualization, breathwork, movement, EMDR, or a little of everything, in my case. She is beautifully boundaried, insightful, gentle but committed to growth over comfort or status quo. My time with a view of the gorgeous mountain was a healing, expansive, and inexpressibly important period for me.

I had ten years of therapy in my twenties and thirties. It helped, but I came to Alex in my fifties and there was a lot of entangled trauma work I needed desperately to do. Childhood sexual abuse, familal mental illness and addiction, my own anxiety and addiction…we tackled it all, bit by bit. She understands wonderfully how to triage, focus on what’s needed and practical to move forward and function, but she also supported me through deciding to take a mental health leave from work that changed the direction of my healing and enabled me to make gradual, well-reasoned, and essential life changes.

I moved away from New Hampshire, and what I miss most about the state is Alex. We did a lot of our sessions outside, because the wind in the trees, the sound of the birds, her beautiful wild gardens, and the light were all part of what kept me grounded. Well into the cold months, Alex would bring out quilts and pillows for her Adirondack chairs looking out over the western hills so we could keep at it.

Alex is comfortable with silence. And she is equally gifted in moving me to words, to asking the right questions at the right time. Nothing scares her, nothing shocks her. She meets my experience with compassion and she holds it up to the light for me, with me. She is the perfect mixture of tender and tough, encouraging and supportive, accepting and exacting. She paces sessions well, presses ahead, remembers everything, and makes connections with me that keep me thinking and growing long after.”
