Hi, I'm Amy!

​

I'm a Registered Social Worker, and I'm so glad you're here. If you're reading this, you're probably looking for something—relief, understanding, or maybe just someone who gets it. I want you to know: I do get it.

My Journey to This Work

​

My path to becoming a counsellor has been anything but straight. Professionally, I spent years as a Computer Programmer (yes, really), then moved into Early Childhood Education for a period, and later earned certification as an ADHD Coach through the International Coaching Federation. Now I'm a Social Work counsellor! So if anyone can resonate with a winding road, I'm your person.

I have been a single parent, a homeschooling parent, a parent raising neurodivergent kids, a caregiver for an aging parent and navigating this all as a neurodivergent woman. This is not to toot my own horn but to state, we are all complex in our positions in the world, and I'm not excluded from that!

I have a passion for community support and healing, and have done so through advocacy for families in Early Years Programs, the homeschooling community, those affected by Tourette Syndrome, and the houseless community. Community work means a great deal to me because I've always believed we're meant to support each other.

​

With all that being said, here's the truth: In all of these roles, I've been stuck at some point. I've felt the weight of fear, grief, and those brutal inner voices that tell us we're not enough. I've lived through the kind of experiences that don't just go away on their own—the ones that follow you into your relationships, your sleep, your daily life.

​

It was my own therapy journey that changed everything. When I discovered EMDR, something shifted in a way I hadn't experienced before. After years of talk therapy that helped but didn't quite reach the deepest stuff, EMDR helped me process trauma I didn't even realize I was carrying. It was profound. And it's what I wanted to offer others.
