Alexandra approaches relationships with clients with empathy and compassion and works within a relational, trauma informed and strengths-based framework. She draws on somatic, emotion focused, and attachment-based therapies to help you broaden your understanding of your experience and explore your strengths while fostering self-compassion. Through her training in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Alexandra enjoys working with clients to understand their emotions and how they are experienced and felt in the body, as well as learning ways to use the body as a resource to regulate emotions. Based on training that she has in narrative therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, motivational interviewing and sensorimotor psychotherapy, Alexandra will adjust sessions to meet the needs of each client. She aims to work with each client to create a therapy space where emotions, experiences, thoughts, and behaviours can be explored in a space and relationship that is safe, supportive, and dedicated to your well-being.
