Welcome to Holding Space Therapy
Hi there, I’m Alex! I’m grateful you stepped into my “therapy office”. I’m an EMDR therapist that specializes in working with anxiety, people pleasing, and interpersonal trauma. I provide virtual therapy to Arizona residents (18+).
Who I work with?
The clients I work with are typically in the thick of it! You’ve probably been feeling stuck in your anxiety and people pleasing tendencies for quite some time. Maybe you have a history of relational trauma that has impacted how you’ve learned to show up for others. Or maybe you’ve hit a point and you’re feeling ready to learn to put yourself first.
Many of my clients align with being described as someone who is highly sensitive, empathetic, and self—aware. You may have a solid understanding about yourself yet continue to feel that your needs and goals are out of reach or out of your control. This experience leads to you feeling emotionally exhausted and searching for something to finally give. I see you and how deeply you feel.
As a therapist (to clients like you) I know that you deserve to slow down, really listen to what your emotions mean and understand your needs. I believe that therapy is a space for you to move away from intellectualizing and being on hight alert and turn towards authenticity and security instead. Therapy is a space for YOU!
If any of this is sounding a bit like you, let’s get you scheduled!
