Welcome! My name is Alyx. I’m a relational therapist with a background in community work and gender-based violence. I have extensive experience working with sexual violence and trauma, relationships, both with ourselves and others, and living with uncertainty. Feeling confident in our ability to face and navigate life’s challenges can feel overwhelming and, sometimes, unimaginable. It feels exciting and hopeful to work with clients who are ready to be curious, explorative, and open to possibility. This is brave work, and you don’t have to do it alone.
I have completed my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and hold a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy. My Master’s degree makes me uniquely attuned to relationships and how they shape us, whether that’s our families, our communities, or within a larger cultural context. No one is an island and experiences in our relationships have the power to make life feel full and meaningful, or cast us into doubt and despair.
I have additional training in Emotionally-Focused Therapy which lends itself well to relational work and an alternative to talk therapy approach called Brainspotting which accesses the subcortical parts of the brain to relieve congested emotional experiences.
Greater wellness in our lives, our relationships, and our communities doesn’t just look like relief from difficult emotions. It means creating capacity for meaning making and purpose, accessing joy and creativity, and exploring what experiences make for a fulfilling life.
If you would like to connect please feel free to send me an email and we can discuss your hopes and expectations for therapy.
