Within The Pause, Healing Begins

A telehealth counseling practice in Cleveland, OH offering a grounded space for your mind, body, and heart to realign. A calm, supportive place to gently challenge perfectionism, break free from people-pleasing patterns, build healthy boundaries, and create more authentic, fulfilling relationships.

You deserve a life that brings you pride and peace—one where you don’t have to earn your worth by overgiving, overthinking, or getting everything right, but instead feel safe being exactly who you are.

Looking for a Therapist Who Truly Understands?

I’m the founder of Sacred Pause Counseling and I LOVE being a therapist. As a recovering people-pleaser and perfectionist, I understand the courage it takes to repair self-trust, develop emotional resilience, and build secure connections.

I’m not your average “bobble head” therapist. I bring my down to earth, compassionate, and straight-shooter energy to every session. I prioritize creating trusting, authentic relationships with clients to help them feel seen, heard, and valued. There’s nothing more lonely than forgetting your worth. Through attunement, self-compassion, and emotion regulation, I help adults reclaim their inner world and build secure relationships.

Hi! I’m Alexa

Maybe you’re dealing with…

Chasing emotionally unavailable people

We can explore…

Attachment styles, understanding why these patterns exist, and how to develop “internal” safety instead of outsourcing it.

Struggling to tell people “no” or over-giving in your relationships

We can explore...

Self-reflection skills to identify your needs and assertiveness to express them with confidence.

Avoiding conflict to “keep the peace”

We can explore...

The automatic thoughts (‘this will go badly’) and physical stress responses (tight chest, racing heart) driving this fear and mindfulness skills to help you pause and replace reactions with responses.
