She loves every aspect of labor and catching babies, and cares deeply about ensuring accessibility to the elements of holistic midwifery care for all clients. She is also passionate about reproductive access, gender affirming healthcare, well-person care across the lifespan, and ante and postpartum care.
In her free time, Alex enjoys trying new restaurants, exploring museums, reading, hiking, and spending time with her friends, family, and Portuguese Water dog Sally.

Alex is a lovely midwife - she was compassionate in a difficult scenario and provided support and knowledge / guidance for me.
Super easy to talk to, knowledgeable, and is great at responding quickly to messages over MyChart.
very personable and kind. professional and explained every question we had
Alexandra was wonderful and insightful. She took the time to address all of my concerns. She really cares about her patients! I would go back to her in a heartbeat!
She’s amazing and very easy to talk to about any concerns you have!
I was so unfair to Alex when I first met her. I can't apologize enough, but hormones towards delivery were unpredictable and she was very understanding. She made room for me in her busy schedule to avoid being sent to the hospital. She's a great asset to the practice and I'm happy to have her as a physician. Overall, I appreciate her precaution and thoroughness for my prenatal and postpartum care!
So friendly and considerate. Absolutely a wonderful experience.
I met Alexandra for the first time today. She is very pleasant and spoke with much ease.
Alexandra is such a kind, compassionate midwife with such an amazing bedside manner. She walked in smiling, happy, and positive. Someone who I would definitely want with me in the delivery room! Thank you for hearing me and supporting me during my visit! I look forward to meeting with you again!
Amazing. Kind. Caring. Knowledgeable.
