Hello, nice to meet you.
Welcome! I'm Alexandra Gulbis (she/her), a licensed clinical social worker passionate about helping you navigate life’s challenges and uncover your unique path to growth and fulfillment. My approach blends compassion, authenticity, and creativity, drawing from evidence-based techniques like EMDR, ACT, and narrative therapy, along with existential perspectives.
Healing, growth, and transformation aren’t just buzzwords; they’re battles. Whether you're navigating the whirlwind of neurodivergence, making peace with a past that feels anything but peaceful, or navigating complicated relationships or environments, I’m here to help you (re)write your story. Together, we’ll work to craft a life that doesn’t just check the boxes but actually feels like it belongs to you—a life that matches your values, your dreams, and your definition of thriving.
Together, we’ll work toward the change you’re ready to embrace—one step at a time. Let’s begin your journey today!
I am licensed to see clients physically located in California, Florida, and Vermont.

When I’m not helping people navigate the twists and turns of their inner worlds, I’m out living my own life with a mix of adventure and artistry. My Shiba Inu, Kami, is my partner in crime—equal parts cuddly and cunning, she keeps me on my toes and reminds me that life’s better when you don’t take it too seriously.
Out on the water, you’ll find me yachting, soaking in the stillness of the sea—or the thrill of the waves—because nothing clears my head like the open horizon. When I visit home in my native Florida, I swap the deck for the depths, scuba diving to explore the vibrant underwater world that feels like its own form of meditation.
Music is another big part of my world. I love composing, recording, and getting lost in the magic of sound production. There’s something incredible about turning a raw idea into something tangible, emotional, and uniquely yours. I periodically release original compositions on Apple Music, Spotify, and other streaming services.
Fashion is another form of self-expression—it’s not just about clothes, it’s about creating a mood, telling a story, and feeling amazing while doing it. And then there’s my love for motorcycles. Few things compare to the rush of freedom I feel carving through a winding road on two wheels. Whether it’s chasing inspiration, speed, or the thrill of being alive, I’m always finding new ways to keep life dynamic and unapologetically mine.
