“In working together for a such a short time, I feel I have grown so much as a person and as a clinician because of you. Your generous spirit knows no bounds. You meet our patients in such a playful and magical space, which you (seemingly) create effortlessly. “

"" I can't imagine where I would be had I not had Alexa as my Supervisor. With tremendously felt intention and care, Alexa supported and nurtured my growth making known that she had my back and believed in me every step of the way. Through moments of self-doubt and internal friction, she created a supervisory space that both empowered me and challenged me to be self-reflective and constantly curious. Alexa endowed in me the invaluable ability to feel capable and safe enough to take important risks during my time as an intern that have been crucial to my development as a clinician, particularly for my self-confidence and resilience. Her unwavering commitment and respect for me and my growth was palpable, always sharing resources to supplement my learning and role-modeling qualities that, still to this day, I strive to emulate. Through having opportunities to observe Alexa with patients, I had the privilege of witnessing and learning what deeply compassionate care really looks like. Her unconditional positive regard for every patient, her ability to develop a therapeutic rapport with absolutely anyone, and her focus on centering cultural humility and consciousness in all of her interactions, set an important standard for me as a therapist and human."

"Alexa was my onsite supervisor at my first year internship as a Dance/Movement Therapy clinical intern. Alexa is a thorough clinical practitioner and supervisor. Observing her helped me better understand the nuanced applications of Dance/Movement Therapy in a psychiatric ward. On a personal level, I found her to be patient, welcoming, responsive and emotionally available towards me. For an international student like me, her cultural curiosity, openness and humility were reassuring. I couldn’t have asked for a better guide and mentor at the start of my professional exposure. I shall be forever grateful to her for sharing her practice with me.”
