Meet Alexander...
Identity Insight Integrator | Neurodivergence Navigator
🧠 Therapy for Deep Feelers, Big Thinkers & Worn-Out Humans.
If you’re sorting out who you are, why you feel things so intensely, or why your brain seems to run on a different operating system than everyone else’s, Alexander gets it. Really gets it. He supports people exploring identity, gender, sexuality, and neurodivergence, as well as folks recovering from emotional or narcissistic abuse, navigating grief or expectant loss, or carrying a lifetime of Big Feelings without a safe place to set them down.
Alexander became a therapist because, for a long time, he avoided therapy altogether. Being queer, trans, and autistic in a system that did not quite know how to understand him meant every appointment felt like explaining himself more than healing. Everything changed when he finally worked with a therapist who spoke his language. Now Alexander offers that same sense of recognition and relief to his clients. A space where you don’t have to teach your therapist how to support you. A space where you can finally exhale.
🧠 Specialties I Love to Work With
Alexander supports adults who are:
Strugging with depression, demotivation, and emptiness
Wrestling with anxiety, panic, and big emotional intensity
Processing grief, expectant loss, or caring for someone who is ill
Untangling patterns of people-pleasing, overwhelm, or carrying too much for others
Stuck in cycles they can’t name, but can definitely feel
Exploring identity, gender, or sexuality
Moving through trauma, including emotional, narcissistic, and sexual abuse
Navigating neurodivergence (especially late-identified folks figuring things out in real-time)
Alexander brings a calm, grounded presence and an easy, nonjudgmental style. He helps clients make sense of their internal world using curiosity, clarity, and compassion. When things get heavy, he slows the pace, checks in, and makes room for whatever needs to show up. And when the moment calls for it, he’s not afraid to offer a gentle laugh or one of his delightfully terrible dad jokes to ease the tension.
His clinical approach is eclectic and client-centered. He blends IFS, DBT, trauma-informed care, and strength-based work, adjusting the mix based on what each client needs rather than forcing anyone into a rigid method. Alexander is especially attuned to people who feel deeply, think intensely, or process the world in novel ways, and he brings steady, supportive guidance to all of it.
💬 What Therapy With Me Feels Like
Imagine a session where you can settle in, breathe out, and think, “Okay. This person gets me.”
Working with Alexander feels calm, affirming, and safe. His clients frequently say, “You actually listen,” and “I don’t feel judged here,” and “I finally feel understood.” He offers a space where you can be messy, uncertain, overwhelmed, grieving, hopeful, healing, or anything in between without having to shrink yourself to fit in.
Alexander is also deeply supportive of helpers, caregivers, and people who are used to being the strong one. In his office, you don’t have to be strong. You just have to be you. And if you do feel like flexing something, he’ll happily help you start with your boundaries (but we will also celebrate triceps progress if that tracks).Therapy with me is supportive, but we don’t just sit in the feelings — we work through them. I’m here to help you notice what’s underneath the chaos, shift the patterns that keep you stuck, and build the kind of life and relationships you actually want.
You can expect a calm presence, a clear focus, and the kind of nonjudgmental honesty that lets you exhale and say: “Finally. Someone gets it.”
We’ll work at your pace — but I’ll be right there with you, helping you make meaningful changes every step of the way.
🌱 A Bit More About Me
If my therapy style were an animal, it’d be a shrimp. Yes... really!
Small, steady, subtle, and surprisingly effective. I believe tiny shifts can change entire lives, and creating safety leads to real transformation.
Outside the therapy room, I am:
A massive aquarium nerd (ask about my tanks and I will talk for hours)
A Gilmore Girls enthusiast
A person with an unusually excellent memory and a knack for pattern-spotting
Powered primarily by coffee
Someone who understands big feelings because I live in the neighbourhood myself
I’m warm, humble, and real with clients. No performance. No judgment. Just genuine connection and a belief that you deserve support that fits who you actually are.
