Are you feeling out of touch with your truest self? Do you feel like you've achieved your goals in career or relationships but somehow still struggle with chronic burnout, relationship patterns that repeat, or a lingering sense of unmet spiritual hunger. Often my clients have done a lot of self-improvement, read the books and tried conventional methods, but these haven't touched the core of the issue. I especially work with people with chronic health issues: unexplained fatigue, autoimmune conditions, weight issues or chronic pain.

I work best with individuals navigating trauma, mood or relationship difficulties, or long-standing patterns that feel hard to change. Some are dealing with anxiety, trauma or depression; others are working through complex life experiences such as past trauma, relationship issues, personality issues or loss. Often, they’ve spent years coping but feel ready to understand themselves more deeply and shift what’s no longer serving them. They’re seeking a therapy space that offers warmth, depth, and clarity, where insight leads to meaningful and lasting change.

Something isn't quite right. Maybe you can't stop yourself from worrying, or you're compulsively avoiding places, people, or situations. Perhaps panic arrives suddenly, uncontrollably. Maybe you're feeling down — sadness, emptiness, or hopelessness you can't shake, along with worthlessness or guilt. It could be your relationships that aren't working: partner, friends, family, boss, or colleagues. Perhaps past experiences are haunting you, pulling you out of the present and away from the people in it. If you're also adjusting to a new culture or language, that disorientation can compound everything. Perhaps it's all of the above.

Welcome - I’m Alex, a registered counsellor working together with people who want to feel more themselves.

I find that people often come to therapy because they are stuck. They could be struggling with their mood, with their fears, with addiction, with relationship issues, with stress. Whatever the issue, they don’t understand why they are stuck and, despite their best efforts, they don’t know how to become unstuck. Their attempts to use the typical psychological skills and strategies from CBT or ACT don't work, not because of any personal failing, but because they haven't been able to identify the causes of their problem and because there is more to people than just simple thoughts, feelings and behaviours.

Anger Management Therapists
How long does therapy take for anger management?
Treatment duration depends on the person’s specific challenges and circumstances. There are treatments for anger problems that are shorter and more goal-oriented, like Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), which can last weeks to months. Others, like Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) may last between six months and a year, while a more intensive treatment, like psychodynamic therapy, is open-ended, and clients may see their therapist for a year or longer.
How do you know if you need therapy for anger management?
Everyone gets mad from time to time. But when angry outbursts become frequent and cause damage to relationships, whether at home or in the office, it may be a good time to look into therapy. A therapist can assess where a client’s anger may be coming from, suggest strategies for averting angry outbursts, and help a client create a plan to become a calmer version of themselves.
Is there medication for anger management?
Medications do exist that help people mitigate the feeling of anger, but these are reserved for people with anger-related psychiatric disorders, such as intermittent explosive disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, or in some cases borderline personality disorder. In these cases, antidepressant medications may be prescribed to help with the client’s symptoms. In most cases of anger management, however, talk therapy is the recommended treatment, along with lifestyle changes where relevant.
What’s the best way to encourage someone to seek help for anger issues?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either themselves or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
