Hi I'm Alejandra,

I want to Welcome you! It is an honor to be able to accompany you on your journey and support you as your therapist. If you are new, take this moment in time, as a moment that you give to yourself to explore and discover your authentic voice. Take this as an opportunity to be brave and go into the unknown, and remember that you are not alone. I will be here to support you in moments of doubt, conflict, fear, anguish, sadness, anger and any other feelings that you may have. I will also be here to celebrate the positive moments with you and give you a space where you can see your personal growth and see the transformation within yourself and the relationship you have with others.

I'm an Associate Marriage & Family Therapist. I received my Master’s degree in Marriage & Family Therapy, with a specialization in trauma, at Pacific Oaks College. My therapeutic approach is Holistic because I integrate the mind, body, and spirit. I incorporate different modalities, such as Psychodynamic, Person-center, Gestalt, Existential, Systemic, Cognitive, Solution focus, Somatic trauma Resolution, Art Therapy, Play Therapy, Humanistic, and others.

It is a pleasure to serve different individuals with different cultural backgrounds. My passion lies in working with people of all ages and backgrounds. I often find myself surrounded alongside artists, deep thinkers, creatives, entrepreneurs, coaches, scientists, survivors of traumas and immigrants.

I was born and raised in Argentina, I moved to LA, as an immigrant more than 20 years ago, and became US citizen. In addition to my therapeutic work, I had a background in formal education at the University of Buenos Aires with an BA in film, in USA, I exhibited a film supported by (Women in film) WIF. I also exhibited, in galleries and different venues, artistic photographs. I was able to publish poems in a book, with other women. I received an AA in ECE, I worked with music, and I also studied classical Guitar, in the Conservatory Debussy, in BA. I am a certified Yoga teacher, in the USA, and have worked with people of different ages. I believe in integrating spirituality, as part of the healing process and I integrate meditation in my therapeutic approach. In my spare time, I enjoy dancing, hiking, listening to music, creating art, traveling, doing yoga, I love animals, and being surrounded by loving people.
