I have worked with people that have had significant life issues in the areas of Grief/ Loss, Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, and Addiction.
I respect the vulnerability and courage it takes to make that first call for help. Navigating through life's struggles can be challenging and leave you feeling confused, frustrated and alone. I invite you to consider what life would be like not having to stay stuck in the place of PAIN and moving toward lasting WELLNESS. Change IS possible, healing IS attainable! YOU hold the key to where change CAN happen; together we can remove the obstacles that are hindering your growth. I offer an honest and caring approach to psychotherapy for Individuals, Couples, and Families.

I find meaning and fulfillment in working with those who have experienced trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, attachment wounds, and relationship issues. I am an Eye Movement Desensitization (EMDR) and Reprocessing trained therapist and I use EMDR to treat trauma. Trauma comes in multiple forms; single episode, multiple, or cumulative relational trauma. I strongly believe that our psyche is wired for healing and growth, and it is an honor to be part of my client’s transformative journey.

Life is for bringing our brightness into being, yet we may carry emotional burdens that block joy and comfort. Or, we can feel stuck in “ways of being” that no longer serve us, experience an unrelenting “inner critic”, or alone and distant from others and our own inner light. I work with adults and adolescents experiencing depression, loss, anxiety, relational issues, or challenges with self-esteem/self confidence, and seeking to change behaviors and patterns not getting them the results they want.

Variety keeps life spicy! I love working with various populations & am always eager to learn more! My specialty is any kind of grief work.
Sometimes life is just too hard. There's confusion and hurt around school, work, relationships, this crazy new world of which we're all trying to make sense. But there's good news too! You are not meant to do this alone. It is my true privilege to be able to walk alongside my clients, helping share the weight of their burdens. Together we will create a place of peace and trust, a relationship full of compassion and encouragement and without judgment (and we'll likely have some laughs together as well!). From there we will work together to find new ways to grow and learn and manage the things that make life hard.

I have experience working with a variety of issues, including grief & loss, end of life, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, anxiety, and a variety of relational dynamics.
I believe that your voice and expertise should be held at the same level as mine, so that together, we can create a map of treatment that aligns with who you are and the change you want to see. I value authenticity, empathy, and equality, and strive to uphold these notions in the therapeutic relationship. I also find that a real and honest connection is one of the most powerful vehicles for change, so with that in mind, I enter our work with a great deal of care, humility, and gratitude.

I have training in working with perinatal loss, grief, and narcissistic abuse recovery.
You may find working together to be supportive if you are grieving the loss of a pregnancy and need a private space to sort through your thoughts, beliefs, and emotions about it. Many women benefit from being able to speak frankly about their loss experience. You may also find it helpful to work together if you are in a relationship where you feel fundamentally confused, doubt yourself, worry about wearing your friendships thin by talking about your relationship too much, or find yourself thinking that you have to be sure you have tried everything before leaving. You deserve this support and you are not "crazy."

If you are considering a change, want to resolve conflict, or heal the past, you have taken the first step. It can be difficult to finally reach out to someone. Sometimes our problems may manifest as conflict in our relationships and occupations. Managing changes in our lives may create stress and confusion. Loss and grieving may require more support than family and friends can provide. Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy can serve to give you the space to clarify issues and heal.

Together we can unpack early childhood wounds, learn to process and regulate difficult emotions, reframe and replace unhelpful thought patterns, process grief or loss, and manage difficult relationships.
Often times the greatest barrier to our healing is feeling like we are alone and have to fix things ourselves. We were never meant to walk this life alone. This is why it is my commitment as a therapist to create a safe and nonjudgmental environment where you can receive hope in the healing process.

Hello and welcome, my name is Alexandra Northern, LMFT practicing since 2009. The things that I have come to learn and believe about therapy are; 1. the power of a good fit between client and therapist is boundless 2. if you are not feeling progress after a fair amount of time talk to your therapist about it; the techniques being used may not be a good fit 3. there is no emotion unable to be helped by the therapeutic experience as long as you are open 4. vulnerability is a part of any great movement in life.

In a frequently emotion-phobic world that is increasingly productivity-driven, often pushes "more is better" messaging and encourages endless striving, letting ourselves be human can be hard. Whether your current challenges are related to an acute stressor or tied to early attachment wounds, we all have the capacity to navigate hardships, heal, and emerge more resilient, connected and empowered in our lives. I enjoy working with adults and older adults on issues related to grief/ loss, life-transitions, interpersonal stress, parenting, people pleasing, and more.
