My name is Amy, and I’m grateful you are here. My approach to therapy is rooted in warmth and compassion, creating a non-judgmental space for you to embrace your authentic self. Together, we can explore the darkness that may dim your light, and I’ll walk alongside you on your journey of self-understanding, growth, and healing.

In our work together, we’ll delve into your challenges, hold space for your feelings, and identify your unique needs. We’ll set meaningful goals, practice coping strategies and explore your values and dreams, guiding you toward the fulfilling life you deserve.

Having navigated my own journey of mental health and neurodiversity, I have grown to appreciate the transformative power of stories. Therapy provided a sanctuary to share my narrative with a compassionate listener, helping me organize my experiences and engage meaningfully with the world. I’m grateful to support others this way, and I would be honoured to hear your story.

Approach

My therapeutic approach is trauma-informed and holistic, integrating various evidence-based modalities, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Narrative Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I take a person-centred approach by collaborating closely with my clients, honouring your self-knowledge and personal wisdom while applying my expertise to foster meaningful change.

Every day, I intentionally work to facilitate an anti-oppressive practice and neurodiversity-affirming space where all identities are valued.

Areas of Focus

I work with individuals facing a variety of challenges, including:

Anxiety Depression Student Life Life Transitions ADHD Personal Growth Learning Disabilities Relationship Challenges Burnout and Chronic Stress Emotional Regulation Grief and Loss Trauma Chronic Pain Caregiving and Medical Trauma Education

I am a Registered Social Worker with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW). My educational journey includes a Bachelor’s degree in Applied Health Sciences from the University of Waterloo and a Master of Social Work degree from the University of Toronto, where I specialized in mental health and healthcare.

Life is meant to be fully experienced, and therapy can help you choose how you engage with it. By recognizing the roots of your emotions and exploring different ways to respond, you can gain greater control over your inner world. My areas of focus include working with trauma, anxiety, and relationship struggles, helping you uncover patterns that may be holding you back and guiding you toward a more balanced, fulfilling life.

Together, we will take the steps toward healing and growth, allowing you to move forward with more clarity and intention. I’m here to support you as we navigate this journey, ensuring that you feel understood, empowered, and equipped to embrace life with confidence.

By understanding the dynamics of your family and the emotional patterns affecting your well-being, we can work together to build stronger, more fulfilling connections with yourself and others.

My areas of focus include trauma, attachment, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, childhood trauma, burnout and life transitions.
