Hi, I’m Alex! My approach to counselling is body-based and insight-oriented, using a variety of somatic techniques and parts work. I believe that change happens through an empowering of you to release burdens and stress, process trauma (it can get trapped in the body), grow yourself, and author your own story. While all of us have this possibility, sometimes we can get stuck in the patterns or symptoms that are working so hard to keep us functioning and protected. I tend to work with adults who feel like they are stuck; stuckness can show up in the form of issues within the family system or environment, difficulties connecting with others and cultivating relationships, loss of relationships, loneliness and disconnection, a loss of purpose, significant life transitions, chronic stress, difficulty feeling a sense of safety and security, and recurring intense emotions such as anxiety, anger, or sadness, that can feel debilitating and confusing. Despite our best efforts, we can remain in suffering which prevents us from going down the paths or creating the opportunities that lead us more into our authentic selves and to what we truly desire. I enjoy working with older teens, adults, and couples or small groups in any kind of relationship dynamic, and with people from all walks of life.

My experiences throughout the last 15 years in movement and expressive arts informs my practice, and I believe that creativity generates possibility. In therapy, it’s crucial that modalities are integrated and align with each individual, and that above all else there is a good relationship and sense of collaboration established. So, together we can explore what it is you need to feel more balanced and connected to what matters. I endeavor to create a safe space where every body feels welcome and accepted. I am here to support and advocate for you and move with you on your journey!
