As a therapist, I bring a thoughtful, evidence-based approach to counselling and care, grounded in compassion, community, and a shared purpose to face challenges with honesty and courage. My work is centred on helping clients feel understood, supported, and equipped to move through difficult moments with clarity and resilience.

You may feel stuck at a fork in the road, overwhelmed by anxiety, sadness, or indecision that drains your energy and steals your potential. One path leads to clarity, purpose, and forward momentum. The other keeps you trapped in the same unfulfilling cycle. I help individuals regain control, overcome decision paralysis, and make value-aligned choices in their careers, relationships, and lives.

I specialize in guiding people from anxiety, sadness, and/ or feeling stuck to confident, purposeful action. In a secure, judgment-free space, I use practical, evidence-based tools to build emotional clarity, dissolve decision paralysis, and create lasting momentum toward the future you deserve.

It is hard to take that first step when difficult emotions make everything feel heavy and overwhelming. You are not alone. Many feel trapped, but real change begins with one courageous move. I meet you exactly where you are with compassion and without judgement, helping you reclaim your story and potential. Please reach out today!

I believe everyone deserves to be the best possible version of themselves and live their desired life. Unfortunately, things can get in the way of that. Sometimes it is childhood trauma, sometimes it is situations at work or in our relationships, and other times we get in our own way, often due to fear. That is where counselling comes in. If you are reading this, I commend you for your courage to reach out. I know it can be hard to ask for help. You have made your first step. I see my role as a counsellor to facilitate the healing and changes that you, the client, wish to make. This is your journey, and I am here to help you navigate your healing journey, develop skills, and build capacity and resilience. My approach is to listen to you without judgment or preconceived ideas. I offer unconditional positive regard. Concepts that many of us have rarely experienced. I collaborate with the client to help them develop strategies and goals to move forward in their life. We will work to understand the issues concerning you and create the changes you desire. The primary therapeutic modalities I practice include an integrated psychodynamic-humanistic approach. I utilize a trauma-informed, person-centered therapeutic lens augmented with other therapeutic techniques, such as solutions-focused, strengths-based, mindfulness, and transpersonal, as appropriate.

I have my Master’s in Counselling Psychology and over three years of experience in counselling, crisis intervention, and support roles. Before that, I have over 30 years of experience in corporate engineering and business. Due to my varied background and life experiences, I bring a depth of knowledge and approaches that are both comprehensive and flexible.

Alexandra is a BC Register Clinical Counsellor with a Bachelor’s degree in Counselling with Distinction, a Masters Degree, and more than twenty years of experience. Alexandra provides therapy to all clients including children, adolescents, individuals, adults, couples and families.

Her specialties in counselling include:

Couples counselling, Depression and anxiety, Confidence and self-esteem, Grief, Child/teen therapy, Parenting/family issues, Attachment issues, Life and work stress, and life transitions.

She uses cognitive behavioural therapy, solution-focused therapy, Gottman couples therapy and Hakomi Somatic therapy, art therapy, play therapy, and EMDR for children.

She believes that play therapy is a powerful modality to address childhood trauma, behavioural challenges, attachment issues and other challenges. Children can have trouble expressing their feelings through talk therapy; however, with a story or a paintbrush, they can access emotions, articulate fears and work out challenges.

Along these lines, she uses art therapy as an effective, creative approach for people of all ages to explore their challenges and understand better their barriers through creating a visual image. She uses art therapy in individual counselling sessions as a tool for self-exploration, communication, and healing.
