You know what you want. You keep doing the opposite. You've done the reading, noticed the pattern, and yet there you are again, pulling away when someone gets close, repeating the argument you swore you wouldn't have, returning to the habit you wanted to leave. That gap between knowing and doing is rarely a discipline problem. It usually means different parts of you want different things. I work with self-aware adults and couples who are tired of insight that doesn't translate. Together we slow things down, look at what these patterns are protecting, and build a different relationship with them.

Everyone needs a safe space where we can put down our armor and be our true selves. To say how we’re really feeling. Without that opportunity, our batteries wear down pretty fast. You might be someone others rely on, who’s used to coping, pushing through, and making it work … but inside, it feels like a lot. Whether you're a survivor of childhood trauma, domestic violence, going through a breakup, friendship drama, or just feeling lost in your career path, I can help you make sense of what happened and find a way forward that feels true to you.

Do you feel like your mind is always racing, your emotions hit harder than other people’s, and no matter how much you try, life still feels overwhelming?
Many of the adults I work with are living with ADHD, intense emotional ups and downs, or long-standing relationship patterns shaped by attachment wounds. On the outside, you may appear capable, but internally, you might feel exhausted, reactive, misunderstood, or stuck in cycles of self-doubt and shame. You are not too much — you’ve been carrying too much without the right support.

You've come to the right place.

People seek out therapy because they cannot live their lives in the same way anymore. Perhaps there was a crisis, a feeling of despair, or a longing for something they have never had before.

Therapy is not for the faint of heart, but with the right therapist, you will have a guide on your journey to knowing yourself more intimately.

Welcome! My name is Alex and I bring to the therapy room over 14 years of experience working with and supporting individuals and families in need. I have a Master’s in Counselling Psychology (MCP) from Adler University, and while I have called Vancouver home for many years, I am originally from Quebec. I appreciate that each person’s journey through life is unique, and therefore my approach to counselling is primarily person-centred. I believe that authentic connection, empathy, and unconditional acceptance are essential in fostering the safety needed for healing to occur. My work in sessions is collaborative and trauma-informed.
