Who is Alex?

I have always been drawn to the big questions…suffering, relationships, purpose, and what it means to live a meaningful life.

I began working in physical health at first, but felt the need to follow my curiosity about creating a different kind of change in people’s lives.

Full transparency - I also needed to study it for myself in order to find answers to my burning questions.

I have experienced my own share of anxiety, depression, and relational trauma, which also guided this enquiry.

When I finally sat with a therapist who met me in a real, grounded way, things began to shift.

I learned I wasn’t “broken” or needed fixing - I’d carried unprocessed pain, old survival strategies, and disconnection that had never been acknowledged.

What do I offer as a therapist?

I don’t use a cookie-cutter approach, and I take the time to really listen.

Sometimes therapy requires guidance rather than ‘spinning the wheels’ and lengthy exploration. Other times slowing down and paying attention to the particulars is needed and naturally leads to answers and resolutions.

The person seeking therapy needs to know their therapist can ‘go there’ with them on the journey, which is a part of how I can be of service - I know what it’s like to not feel met as a client and how to provide this.

I am not a big proponent of the medical model in psychotherapy, and I am also not trained in clinical assessments and diagnosis. However, I often work with people facing challenges with a mental health diagnosis, such as Bipolar, Major Depression, Social Anxiety, ADHD, and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
