Based on my own experiences, infertility support is a foundational passion of mine.
I am a firm believer that there is no one right or true way to engage in therapy. Everyone comes with a set of unique life experiences, which requires an individualized take on achieving personal goals and overcoming barriers. My approach is based in evidence and strength based practice, while focusing on you and where you are in your journey. We will work together to create a safe and empowering environment. You will receive support in gaining insight, developing coping mechanisms and strategies and strengthening the foundation of your authentic self through methods such as CBT, EFT, Attachment, Somatic & Trauma Approaches.

I have additional training in grief, infertility, menopause, PMDD, and reproductive trauma.
Reaching out for help can be overwhelming, and taking that first step is often the hardest, but it can be life-changing. I am passionate about working in mental health and creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you will feel heard and supported in sharing your experiences and challenges. Together, we can work to gain new perspectives, develop your skills, identify your strengths, and create positive changes in your life. I understand the difficulties and stress that come with many life transitions, grief, work-life balance, being a parent, and dealing with mental and chronic illnesses.

I help individuals and couples explore and strengthen their relationships; with partners, family, friends, and themselves. Our experiences shape how we think, feel, and connect with others and ourselves. When those experiences include hurt, loss, or disconnection, they can leave lasting patterns that we don’t always see right away. In our work, we might explore how past relationships and attachment patterns show up in your present, make sense of your emotional world, strengthen communication, explore healthy boundaries, or build practical skills to manage the anxiety, depression, and trauma that can come from relational struggles.

You may be coming to therapy because you’re ready for something in your life to change. Maybe you feel emotionally overextended, caught in painful relationship dynamics, struggling with meaning, or carrying more responsibility for others’ feelings than your own. You might look functional on the outside while feeling exhausted, resentful, or unseen on the inside. If any of that resonates, you are not alone and you don’t have to keep holding it by yourself. My approach to therapy is grounded, relational, and deeply respectful of your lived experience.

You've always managed. Pushed through. Found workarounds. But somewhere in your 30s and 40s, everything got harder, the brain fog, the overwhelm, the feeling that you're falling apart just when life expects the most from you. Perimenopause is often the moment ADHD finally shows its face in women, or makes an already difficult condition nearly unmanageable. You're not losing your mind. You're not weak. You're dealing with something real that most providers don't understand, let alone treat.

Hi there, I’m Alex! Thanks so much for stopping by! I’m a member of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association with a background in Applied Social Psychology. Before becoming a counsellor, I spent several years working in the community sector, where I found my passion for supporting families, building connections, and helping people navigate life’s ups and downs. Those experiences taught me how powerful it can be to have a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported — something I strive to offer in my work every day.

If you're a mother in search of support because you're feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, overstimulated, angry, or like you're purely just surviving - you are most certainly not alone. A safe space to talk about these unique challenges of motherhood with someone who understands can be so validating and healing. I'm Ang - I'm a therapist and a mother of 4 year old twins and a 10 year old. I drink way too much coffee, I have a potty mouth, I have ADHD, and I am in the trenches of motherhood right along with you. It truly takes a village, and I'd be honoured to be a part of yours.

How can infertility affect couples and their relationship?
Clients who are dealing with infertility may experience conflict and communication problems. It’s not unusual for shame, blame, and guilt to arise in cases of infertility, whether the source of the problem is one partner or both. This means that clients are upset and pulling away from their partner just when they need them the most. Some clients may find it difficult to spend time around friends and family who are pregnant. Friends and family can also make hurtful comments that increase tension during this time.

How does therapy for infertility issues work?
The therapist will begin by gathering information about the client or couple and make a treatment plan for their specific concerns. In addition to addressing common mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression, and trauma reactions or PTSD, therapists can help clients improve their decision-making and deal with stressors unique to infertility. Some examples include coping with the “two-week wait” before a pregnancy test, the distress associated with a failed attempt or miscarriage, and the shame and blame sometimes associated with reproductive concerns.

What type of therapy is best for infertility issues?
Many therapists offer psychotherapy for individuals and couples who are dealing with infertility issues. Some helpful therapeutic approaches include cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), which can aid clients in reframing negative thoughts about their situation. Expressive writing and art therapy can help clients process difficult feelings. Clients might also benefit from group therapy to experience support from others who are dealing with the same problems.

How long does therapy for infertility issues take?
There is no set length for therapy that addresses infertility or reproductive concerns. Some clients might find it helpful to continue therapy during their pregnancy to have healthy ways to cope with any associated stress, anxiety, depression, or trauma. Some clients who decide not to pursue fertility treatments might benefit from the support of a therapist. The duration of therapy varies depending on the individual client’s specific needs and goals.
