Alexandra takes a holistic approach to address concerns related to physical, cognitive, emotional, and spiritual wellness. A trauma-informed, transpersonal, and mindfulness-based integrative lens is used to help clients access their inner resources and wisdom to find the answers that lie within and create a life of meaning and purpose. Clients are guided on their journey of self-discovery to develop self-awareness, knowledge of self, and foster a connection with their inner sage. Individuals are empowered to explore their multidimensionality and discover/nurture their unique gifts to self-heal and achieve self-actualization.

Life can be difficult, and I am happy you're here looking for what you need right now. Nobody can do our inner work for us, but we also can't do it alone.

Are you tired of feeling like you aren’t yourself, or feeling disconnected and lost? Do you want clarity on who you are, what your goals are, and how to embark on your healing journey?

I specialize in supporting the BIPOC community, particularly individuals with histories of trauma, depression, and anxiety.

* I'm currently unable to take on new clients * Are you feeling stuck? Feeling stressed, sad, hopeless, anxious, afraid, or irritable? I'd like to help. We all have a unique set of skills and coping strategies that have helped us get through life. Sometimes, those exact strategies get in the way of leading the life we want to live. I'd like to help you unpack some of the thoughts, behaviors, and unhelpful patterns that have brought you to this point. With compassion and curiosity change can happen.

I am an unapologetic autistic, disabled social worker and trauma therapist. I work collaboratively with autistic/neurodivergent individuals, families, professionals and leaders, providing non-violent, disability/racial/gender justice based healing support. Healing supports are attuned, holistic, depathologizing and decolonizing; reconnecting with self, community and culture. Our neurotypes do not need “treatment”, and our problems are not the result of “social skills deficits”. Deep healing and liberation come through challenging neurodisablist and sanist systems and finding pathways back to our embodied wisdom, power and JOY!

The outcome of our lives is impacted by many things, not the least of which are the deeply held beliefs that we have about ourselves and our abilities. Most of which were consciously and unconsciously created by our younger selves as a way to keep us safe and to survive.

People who may not be able to experience other kinds of psychotherapies are often more open to the benefits of music therapy. You can develop love for life through creative music making, because music plays incredible role in human well-being. I provide a person-centred and evidence-based music therapy/psychotherapy, using a heart-centred model as a representative of the humanistic approach, and a music-centred model as a professional musician, which gives me a wide range of musical and verbal choices for implementing activities and allows me to be flexible in selecting methods and techniques.

We’ve heard “life is full of ups and downs”, but have you ever thought to yourself “why does it have to feel so hard”? Maybe a change in your relationship, a new life transition or trying to balance all of life’s stressors is causing you to feel stuck, worried or overwhelmed. Worry due to interpersonal stressors, anxiety, performance, loss or feeling as though you aren’t meeting expectations can be difficult, but you do not have to hold the weight alone.

Hi! I am so glad that you are here. The decision to begin therapy is often the first step towards positive change, improved relationships and feeling better. Are you moving into new roles and responsibilities and finding it difficult to cope? Have you been impacted by something painful and feel you need a place to process this? Do you have a child or teen with anxiety, ADHD, anger, or OCD and want to arm them with skills to crush these issues? Could you use an expert opinion on what you’re going through, or a non-judgemental ear just to listen? If you answered yes to any of the above, therapy together may be a wonderful fit for you!

Do you find yourself overwhelmed and consumed by your emotions, feeling disconnected from both yourself and others? Are you struggling to stay present and find control amidst a wave of unsettling emotions, making it challenging to navigate through daily situations and maintain healthy relationships? The persistent worry can gradually affect your sense of control, ultimately impeding your ability to lead a joyful and purposeful life.
