Amanda is a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), currently completing her Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology.
Coping with change can leave you feeling overwhelmed or exhausted, impacting your ability to function effectively. I appreciate the strength it takes to be vulnerable, and my goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space to help you explore ways to manage the impact of life’s obstacles that are impacting your ability to move forward.
My approach is person-centered, integrating techniques drawn from mindfulness practices, cognitive-behavioural and solution-focused therapies that can help with regulating emotions and shifting the patterns that keep you stuck.
I strive to support self-reflection and raise personal awareness, helping people to navigate the inevitable challenges through transitions in life. I view taking time for therapy as giving yourself permission to reconnect with your strengths as you work toward confidence in living as your authentic self as you build skills for healthy boundaries in relationship challenges.
In my 20+ years working in health care, I’ve gained a compassionate understanding that building resiliency is not linear and through scars, strength can shine through.
To achieve life balance for myself, I enjoy spending time outdoors or on the family farm, finding peace being with animals of any kind.
