Biography

Alexandra is a Registered Psychotherapist (qualifying) who brings an innate curiosity, compassion, and ability to form deep connections with people from various backgrounds and cultures to her work as a therapist. Starting therapy (or starting again) can feel intimidating, overwhelming, or even a little awkward. But the truth is: you don’t have to figure things out alone. Whether you’re feeling anxious, stuck in a pattern you can’t quite shake, going through a big life change, or just feeling off — you’re in the right place. She offers a space that’s warm, non-judgmental, and centered around you. Her approach is collaborative and grounded in the belief that healing happens in connection, and every person holds the potential for growth, clarity, and change when they feel properly supported. In your work together, you can expect genuine conversation, curiosity, and care. She supports adolescents and adults dealing with a range of issues, including anxiety, self-esteem, work stress, burnout, parenting, ADHD, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, life transitions, chronic illness, and more. She uses evidence-based approaches, such as CBT, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, always guided by what feels supportive and helpful to you. Reaching out can feel vulnerable, but you’re not alone. If you’re ready to begin or just want to learn more, she would love to connect for a free 15-minute consultation call.

Important information for individuals using the Directory

a. Breakthrough T1D is not a mental health provider

Breakthrough T1D Canada and the parties it has collaborated with to make the Directory available to you (the “Breakthrough T1D Parties”) are not healthcare providers, do not engage any healthcare providers, and are not engaged in the practice of medicine, nursing, psychology, psychotherapy, social work or any other health profession. The inclusion of a mental health provider in the Directory is not a referral,  endorsement or recommendation of the mental health provider. The Breakthrough T1D Parties make no representation or warranty as to the qualifications, skill, effectiveness or responsiveness of any mental health provider listed in the Directory.

b. Breakthrough T1D is not liable for any health services

Your decision to engage a mental health provider is personal to you and you are responsible for verifying whether any mental health provider you choose to contact has the qualifications and experience that are appropriate for your situation.  You should seek advice from your primary care provider if you require assistance determining which mental health provider is right for you.  None of the Breakthrough T1D Parties are a party to any doctor-patient or therapist-patient relationship that may be established if you contact a mental health provider through the Directory.  None of the Breakthrough T1D Parties are responsible or liable for any health services provided by a mental health provider listed in the Directory or any other aspect of your interaction with a mental health provider listed in the Directory. It may be the case that mental health providers listed in the Directory are only qualified to provide mental health services to patients physically located in certain jurisdictions of Canada. You should confirm with any mental health provider you contact by using the Directory whether they satisfy the criteria of your insurer to be eligible for coverage, if applicable.

c. Breakthrough T1D is not responsible for any mental health provider

While the Breakthrough T1D Parties have taken certain steps to confirm that mental health providers who apply to be included in the Directory have accurately represented their qualifications to provide mental health services at the time of their application, the Directory is a connection tool only and in some cases the Breakthrough T1D Parties will not be able to independently verify a mental health provider’s qualifications, membership or registration with a particular mental health regulatory authority.  The Breakthrough T1D Parties will engage in periodic reviews of the Directory, but the Breakthrough T1D Parties are not responsible for any inaccuracies in or changes to the information included in the Directory.
