Life can be hard and sometimes our circumstances can feel overwhelming. The fears, stresses and worries we experience can leave us feeling stuck and unsure about how to move forward.

Amy is a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) in the province of British Columbia and Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association. She holds a Master’s degree in clinical counselling and is also trained as a parent educator, mediator, negotiator and conflict coach.

As your counsellor and coach, Amy walks alongside you as you embark on the journey of making meaningful shifts in your life. With warmth, empathy and positivity, Amy will help you explore what is holding you back from creating the changes you’d like to see in your life. This process allows you to build on what works and rescript the aspects of yourself that are stuck and no longer serving you. With Amy’s unconditional support, you will develop goals, gain self-awareness and skills to move you towards living a meaningful life where you are thriving.
