With a strong commitment to advancing and expanding access to mental health care, she is currently focused on eating disorder treatment as a Clinical Instructor at CEED. Alexandra enjoys working with adolescents and young adults struggling to build and maintain a positive connection with themselves and others, which may stem from or manifest as an eating disorder, ADHD, anxiety, depression, and\/or PTSD.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gmail-p2\" style=\"margin: 0in;min-height: 15px\">\n<p class=\"gmail-p1\" style=\"margin: 0in\">Current therapeutic interests include the integration of mind-body approaches and practices for improving mental health, such as yoga and mindfulness\/meditation to improve a person\u2019s overall wellbeing.
