Taking that first step towards healing takes courage. I want to honour that and walk alongside of you while we work towards your wellness goals. The reality is that not many people are taught the skills to deal with life’s wear and tear. More often than not, we find ourselves in situations where we simply do not know how to work through things on our own. The good news is that we don't have to! Warmth and acceptance are key tenants of my practice, and sessions will be collaborative, judgment free and open to exploring whatever you bring to the table.

Life can be just plain hard. It can leave us with a host of emotions, good and bad. I am here to tell you there is always hope. Sometimes the bravest thing we can do is ask for help. It can be easy to feel “less than” or unworthy when you lose sight of who you are in the face of comparison. I believe it’s my role as a therapist to help cut through the distractions and false equivalencies and overall noise and build an impactful alliance with my clients that helps them recenter their perspectives and power to begin healing.

Life can be challenging and although we are often able to cope with the difficulties that come our way, there are times when we can become overwhelmed with our thoughts and emotions. An issue may arise that feels too difficult to manage on our own. I provide a safe, supportive, non-judgmental space for you to explore whatever issues have brought you to seek support. I will help you move forward with clarity, confidence, and self-acceptance. It is perfectly normal to reach out for help. We will work together to meet your goals and find solutions that work for you. As a trauma informed therapist, I offer EMDR therapy.

I have an abundance of respect for people that come to counseling because I understand how vulnerable and strange it can feel. It takes a huge amount of courage to heal, and to work through issues that are uncomfortable, especially with people you don’t know at first. My experiences throughout my life motivated me to want to help people and I was fortunate enough to have some wonderful supportive counsellors throughout my healing journey which motivated me to start a career as a helping professional. It would be my honour to support you in your healing journey. I am an FNHA approved provider, and EMDR qualified.

Do you struggle with your relationship with food and your body? Have you ever wished you could find peace from food stress, anxiety, and guilt? Have you ever wondered whether it was possible to feel confident in a body while carrying the weight of the world's judgements and pressures? Body and food peace is a radical pursuit in the face of diet culture and weight stigma, and it is a journey I would be honored to navigate together with you. I work with my clients to explore body image shame, diet culture, intuitive eating, emotion regulation, and authentic living.

Making changes can be hard! Come explore and discover what motivates you and gain self-awareness. My approach is client-centred, strengths-based, and goal-oriented. I've been told I'm relatable, bring warmth, humour, and authenticity to my sessions and I provide a safe space where people can be open about anything (I believe secrets cause sickness). I've also been told I am good at helping with accountability as well. I'd love to work with you to create goals to improve your life, and then build a roadmap to achieve them. "Empathy and unconditional positive regard" (no judgement) is my motto.

As a therapist, I offer you a professional relationship that is deeply accepting and non-judgemental, but also objective and truthful. The issues that bring you to therapy likely started in the context of relationship, and so need to be healed in relationship. My expertise is in creating a specific type of relationship with you, that catalyzes healing and change. In this process you will discover your capacity to trust again, to have connected, satisfying relationships, to stabilize emotionally, and to care for yourself again.

My name is Amanda, and I am counsellor, who has found herself in many different roles over the years, all with a desire of creating places of belonging for all people in this world. As I have journeyed, I have seen time and time again that we as beings have the ability to heal. And, when we heal, there is greater opportunity for those around us to heal as well.
