Let's Connect (306) 988-4577

Hi, I'm Alex! I'm experienced in helping other adults who feel stuck in life or disconnected from themselves or their bodies. This happens for many combinations of reasons, and is common in our modern day and social systems with more technological connection but less authentic connection. I often work with people who have tried cognitive/talk therapies and are ready for something different that can lead to deep, lasting internal change, and people who are aware of patterns and the "why" of things but want more than a toolkit of coping skills and regulation tactics.

My practice is body-based, relational, and insight-oriented. Using attachment theory, parts work, EMDR, and somatic movement, we often find and safely process the deeper roots of issues, allowing trauma, burdens, and stress to finally resolve. With 15 years of experience in the somatic field, I work with a bottom-up experiential and creative approach.

I am currently taking a limited number of new clients. I am happy to meet with you for a free consultation to see if we'd be a good fit for work together. See my booking link below to find a time that works for you. My current group somatic offerings are also listed below, open to anyone!

Together, we'll explore your goals and what brings you to therapy, and then collaborate on a route to take that aligns with you. With this approach, we collaborate and experiment with ways to resolve old issues/patterns/traumas and bring more balance to life.
