Hi, I'm Alex! I'm experienced in helping other adults who feel stuck or disconnected. This can arise from issues within family, cultural, or societal systems, life transitions, chronic stress and nervous system dysregulation, difficulties feeling secure in self, or recurring intense emotions/sensations such as anxiety, anger, or sadness. I often work with people who have tried cognitive and talk therapies and want a different approach, who feel they are "too" sensitive, or aware of patterns and the "why" of things but want somewhere to go with that, and people who feel exhausted just trying to figure things out and keep it together.

My practice is body-based, relational, and insight-oriented. I use a blend of therapies such as body-mind centering, hakomi, parts work, and EMDR. With 15 years of experience in the somatic field, I work with a bottom-up (body first) experiential and creative approach that helps to support and restore from within, and safely process trauma, burdens, stress.

I offer integrative counselling, somatic movement therapy (individuals and relationships), and somatic classes and groups for adults 18+ (see below for current group options). I am here to support, advocate for, and move with you on your life journey. Please contact me if you'd like to be added to my 1-1 waitlist, or know more about group/class offerings.

I work with clients who struggle with symptoms that often feel perplexing or overwhelming to them, such as anxiety and panic, anger, lifestyle habits or changes, stress, and thought patterns, behaviours, pain, or physical symptoms that feel unexplainable. Hearing what these symptoms have to express in the language of the body, through an affirming and compassionate lens, can be a first step.

I use attachment-based and body-centered empirical research, somatic psychotherapy, EMDR, parts work, and expressive techniques in my practice. Together, we'll explore what brings you to therapy and the goals you have, and then collaborate on a route to take that aligns with you. With this type of approach, we investigate symptoms and experiment with ways to bring more ease and balance to life.
