Hi! I am a licensed marriage and family therapist based in California. I received an M.S. in Counseling/Marriage, Family, and Child Therapy from the University of Phoenix in 2016. I have 8 years of experience treating a variety of mental health conditions (including anxiety, depression, and post traumatic stress disorder) and assisting clients in navigating major life changes and challenges. I am also EMDR trained.

Alexia was an amazing therapist for me. She helped me to see how I needed to change the way I was thinking to better suit my family's needs. Only reason I stopped was because of my insurance change. Other than that, I'd still continue therapy with Alexia.

She is supportive, easy to talk to, and truly invested in my wellbeing. She does a great job of listening to my needs and offering reframes of the challenges that I am navigating. She is authentic and skilled in trauma care. I have learned a lot in the short time that I have been working with her.
