If you’ve ever parented through survival mode, fought for your child’s needs, or tried to heal with zero time to yourself—welcome. You belong here.

Hi there, I’m Alexandra, the chaos coordinator behind CPtsd Mommy, a trauma survivor, single mom, and advocate raising two wild-hearted boys, one of whom rocks life with Cerebral Palsy. The name? A mash-up of Complex PTSD and CP, because this life is a full contact sport, grief, advocacy, healing, and disability all rolled into one messy, magical journey.

After surviving abuse, walking away from everything, and restarting life from scratch, I turned my pain into purpose. I founded Resilient Steps, a trauma-informed platform dedicated to speaking, community education, and creating practical tools that support healing and empowerment. Through writing, workshops, and real talk, I help caregivers, survivors, and cycle-breakers find their voice, reclaim their story, and step into their power.

This space is raw, real, and trauma-informed. I’m not here to sugarcoat motherhood or healing. I’m here to break cycles, build something better, and remind other caregivers they’re not alone even when it feels like the whole system is stacked against us. 

Stick around. Read the blog. Join the movement. Because survival isn’t enough. We deserve systems that heal, protect, and uplift.
