Your religion, spirituality , or culture has become a source of distress, or even suffering—rather than of strength. You’re struggling with feeling pressured to make choices based on cultural/religious expectations and beliefs that don’t work for you, with conflicts in interfaith or multicultural relationships, or perhaps whether to leave or join a religious community. You’ve found yourself thinking, "I don't know who I am anymore, or what I'm doing with my life." Relentless uncertainty or confusion can leave you feeling too drained to cope with life, much less enjoy it. At this point, you just want to feel "not broken."

**See our website for other therapists accepting new clients** I am mental health therapist as well as a multi-faith spiritual and religious care provider (also known as a chaplain). My strength is working with anyone's faith and spirituality to help them with their mental health and spiritual journey. I work with all faiths and religious. In my practice, I see each client as a complex and unique person with stories, worldviews, and challenges. My goal is to aid you in accessing your inner resources such as the experiences you cultivate from your stories and the beliefs that find root in your worldviews to cope with challenges.

Primarily, I am an Acceptance and Commitment therapist (ACT), an evidence-based theory helpful with all mood disorders, pain, substance use goal, and support for families. Also, I work as a life coach and support anyone who experiences stress, grief, relationship problems and self-esteem struggles. I believe that spirituality is an important part of anyone's life, as well as laughter. Finally, I have a wealth of lived experience and have overcome many life challenges. We will work as a team to establish and reach your goals and/or dreams. Included is a 15 minute free telephone conversation.

I work with individuals and supervise Inter-Personal Growth Groups. Based on an assessment with you, we determine the best approach to meet your goals, and emotional needs towards personal health and growth. A few of the therapeutic approaches I use include, but not limited to, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) which highlights thoughts, dysfunctional (unhelpful) thinking, and assumptions. We will explore the unique meaning you make of situations and events. I also use Emotionally Focussed Therapy, mindfulness techniques that rely on neurosciences to restore emotional integrity, narrative therapy, and reconstruction therapy.

Testimony of a client: I don’t say this lightly: Alex changed my life. He has had more impact in my life than any other mentor, coach or therapist. He has been able to help me overcome trauma, fears and limiting beliefs by offering his own vulnerability, his deep understanding of his craft and humility. As an actor, it has directly influenced my career and the most important relationships in my life. The change comes from the relationship he is willing to build with you over time.

You may be seeking inner stability, hope, healing, clarity, personal growth and relational understanding - I can support you. I believe that people have the capacity and resilience to work through issues and make their own decisions; however, from time to time we all need support and understanding. You are the expert of your life and together we will be able look at the things that hold you back. I support people to strengthen their sense of self and improve relationships with others. In therapy we will develop the relational awareness which is an essential aspect of emotional well-being.

Life can be challenging. Most of us can have problems in our relationships with partners, family members, co-workers, or children at some point in our lives. Sometimes we struggle with what is going on inside of us, feeling overwhelmed with anxiety, guilt, sadness or anger. Often when we struggle alone, the problem becomes overwhelming. Sometimes we need someone to talk to. Someone who will listen, not judge and offer a response that will be helpful. I see my role as being there for folks who need a listening ear. I offer care and a safe place within which healing, growth and resolution are possible.

“Whether we’re overcoming adversity, surviving trauma or dealing with stress or anxiety, having a sense of purpose, meaning, and perspective in our lives allows us to develop understanding and move forward. Without purpose, meaning and perspective, it is easy to lose hope, numb our emotions or become overwhelmed by our circumstances. We feel reduced, less capable, and lose in the face of struggle. The heart of spirituality is connection. When we believe in that inextricable connection, we don’t feel alone.” – Brene Brown
