Feeling stuck? Overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, or depressed? Struggling to regain a sense of control? I get it. I've been there. Life can be HARD! In times like these, having a supportive, trusting relationship can make all the difference. It would be my honour to offer that support to you.
I call this support your “stick of time”—a dedicated, intentional moment set aside just for you. It’s a space for mindful reflection, curiosity, self-awareness, and growth. This time belongs solely to you, where you can safely explore your experience, draw on your inner wisdom, and move toward the goals that matter most to you.

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.
Whether you’re feeling stuck or just want to understand yourself better, I’m here to help. I believe therapy works best when you feel safe and truly heard. I offer a warm, open space where you can be yourself with no pressure or judgment. My style is collaborative and down-to-earth, with room for humor. Therapy can go deep, but it doesn’t have to feel stiff.

I enjoy working with themes that occur over the life span, such as: Freedom from the self-doubt or anxiety that holds you back; Relational patterns that block your ability to connect with yourself and others; Fear of change, death, living a whole life; Looking for healthy ways of growing and processing unhealed trauma and pain; Developing your intuition and listening to your inner voice; Learning how to identify your thoughts, feelings and sensations.
My approach focuses on the Body-Mind connection in the self; compassionate, heart-centred awareness and vulnerability; being in conversation and becoming vulnerable; EMDR trained to help with reprocessing traumatic content.

We’re often told to “be kinder to ourselves,” “worry less,” or “communicate better.” And many of us do understand why we are the way we are. We have insight, self-awareness, and plenty of knowledge about what we “should” be doing. Yet somehow, that knowing doesn’t always translate into real change—whether in how we treat ourselves, how we show up in relationships, or how we move forward in the areas of life that matter most.

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.

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.

You might feel like you’re always busy but never caught up, working hard yet still feeling disorganized or mentally cluttered. Tasks pile up, motivation shifts, and it can feel like your brain moves in a dozen directions at once. Many teens and adults with ADHD share this mix of capability and frustration—wanting things to click but unsure how to make that happen. Our counselling helps you understand your unique patterns, strengthen focus and follow-through, and create strategies that support clarity, confidence, and balance in everyday life.
