How we treat and talk to ourselves often comes from either hidden pain or the learned patterns inhierited from both our environment and our family of origin.
Do you find yourself repeating painful struggles? Or experiencing anxiety that you just don't know how to hold or what to do with? Do you continue to have problems or issues with your family or loved ones? Is what you are doing or have been doing leaving you feeling stuck, unhappy or frustrated with certain aspects of your life but can’t seem to make lasting changes no matter how hard you try? Life is a journey, not a destination. However, the quality of your present moment experience determines the overall satisfaction of that journey.

Some of my specialties are: relationship difficulties, adjustment to a new reality (disability, separation, immigration), historical sexual abuse, intergenerational and intercultural family conflict, trauma, grief and loss, family rifts, chronic illness, and supporting family members and children impacted by a loved ones addiction.
Supporting others to overcome or rethink the barriers that can keep us from ‘thriving’, has always been my goal. I have done this through extensive work in the non-profit sector (both in Canada and India), and now as a Registered Provisional Psychologist (R.Psych Provisional). I strive to create a non-judgmental therapeutic relationship in which clients feel safe, understood, and with a vision of what ‘stepping forward with hope’ might look like to them. I work with children aged 6+, adolescents, adults, families and couples. I look forward to meeting you and to finding out what is important to you at this time in your life:)

Hi, I'm Alex! I'm experienced in helping other adults who feel stuck in life. Stuckness might stem from issues within the family or cultural environment, a loss of purpose, significant life transitions, chronic stress, difficulties feeling secure in self, creating or grieving meaningful relationships, or recurring intense emotions/sensations such as anxiety, anger, or sadness (that can feel debilitating or confusing). I also often work with folks who've tried cognitive talk therapies before and want a different approach, those who've been told they're "very aware" but don't know what to do with that, and fellow creatives & helpers.

Like a lot of us, we put off our mental health struggles when the weather is nice, because nothing feels as bad at the beach or in the sun. It's a sad reality but summer has ended and winter is coming. Now is the perfect time to begin working on your mental health, improving your coping and communication skills, or dealing with those issues that were put on the back burner over the summer. Around this time of year I see clients come in prepping for the holidays the family discord that can come with returning home, or sometimes it's clients wanting to learn how to balance the stress of home and work. Whatever the issue, let me help.

I utilize evidence-based and trauma-informed techniques from Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT).
My desire is for every client to experience healing through therapy that remains grounded in real life (which is often very messy). I offer you a judgement-free space to be yourself and let go of whatever stress or pain you’re carrying. You set the goals and the pace, and together we move towards what’s meaningful amidst a history of trauma and hardship.

What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
