Hi I’m Alexa, Therapist with Clinical Expertise Rooted in Strategic Resilience.
I don’t just understand the mental load of California motherhood—I have spent a decade clinicalizing the process of dismantling it.
With over a decade of experience and 5,000+ clinical hours, I specialize in the high-stakes identity shifts of pregnancy and postpartum life. My practice is built for the high-achieving woman who is tired of "white-knuckling" her way through the Perfectionism Tax (is the invisible emotional cost of maintaining an 'optimized' life while your internal identity is being erased by the mental load.)
I move beyond traditional "supportive talk" to provide a strategic framework for women navigating:
The Identity Ghost: Reclaiming the woman you were before the mental load took over.
Neural Regulation: Moving your nervous system from a state of "Red Alert" back to responsive calm.
Systemic Recovery: Developing tactical tools to manage family-system pressures and partnership shifts.
From Crisis to Clinical Strategy
My commitment to this work was forged at the intersection of professional training and personal crisis. In 2020, I navigated a high-risk pregnancy and a traumatic birth during a global shutdown. I experienced firsthand how our systems treat mothers as "vessels" rather than individuals with complex, high-functioning lives.
That experience wasn’t just a personal hurdle; it was the catalyst for the therapeutic strategies and inverventions I use today. I realized that "hoping it gets better" is not a strategy. High-achieving women need a specialist who understands the specific "System Overload" of the California lifestyle—from the tech circles of Silicon Valley to the pressure of being a mom and raising kids in LA.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT #102352) with advanced training in perinatal mental health. My background is not in "general" therapy; it is a deep-dive into the reality of maternal mental health.
When you work with me, you aren't just getting a "mom who gets it." You are getting a Clinical Strategist who has spent ten years helping women navigate the most intense transitions of their lives.
You Don't Have to Navigate the "Identity Ghost" Alone.
If you are ready to stop performing and start regulating, the first step is the 10-Minute Vibe Check. We’ll discuss your specific pressure points and see if my strategic approach is the right fit for your goals.
