When life's stressors outpace our ability to cope, it can be difficult to get "unstuck". Grounded in Dialectical-Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Alix recognizes that emotional suffering and resilience co-exist in unique ways for each client. In session, clients are encouraged to explore their own definition of a fulfilling, connected and regulated life. Alix takes a validating and direct approach to introduce strategies for change, integration and emotional processing.

Additional therapeutic approaches include Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotion-Focused Family Therapy (EFFT), mindfulness and meaning-based strategies.
