Amy was in the corporate world but decided to switch careers due to lack of work/life balance and experiencing burnout. She takes a holistic approach to work with her clients and specializes in life transitions, imposter syndrome, anxiety and more.
My experiences and interests give me a unique understanding of…
- When suffering emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by excessive and prolonged stress, I had feelings of overwhelm, emotionally drained, and was unable to meet the daily demands of life. I realized I was suffering from burnout and chose the support of counselling as a tool to help positively shift my beliefs and values through my burnout recovery. This experience prompted my career transition into the field of professional counselling. While healing my own attachment wounds I became very interested in, and completed training in, Attachment Trauma and Couples Counselling.
My cultural or ancestral background is…
- My cultural background of Indigenous (Mohawk) and Irish descent has given me the valuable perspective on how culture, society and diversity, among many other factors, can influence the way we see ourselves and the world around us.
My work as a therapist is inspired by (not limited to)...
My clients describe me using words like…
- Compassionate
- Culturally sensitive
- Fostering emotional healing
- Warm
- Goal oriented
- Collaborative
- Authentic
- Kind

I support people navigating life transitions, overcoming obstacles and challenges.

- This is a great time for me to introduce myself, for you to get to know me and to ask any questions you might have. I understand that reaching out for counselling can be a daunting task for some and it is my goal to make this process as smooth as possible.
If we work together you can expect me to…
- Identify & change patterns that may be keeping you stuck in painful emotions, have trust in emotions and learn how to interact differently with your emotions.
- Grow awareness, and be able to attune to what’s happening in the physiology moment to moment. This awareness and attunement, and the ability to respond to what’s emerging, helps to grow nervous system capacity and regulation
- Be able to recognize your relationships emotional patterns and better understand you and your partners emotional needs and responses. Also, learn to see and shape pivotal moments into ones that create a more secure connection and bond.
