I hail from the beautiful Rocky Mountain town of Cranbrook, B.C., where I had the privilege of growing up on the unceded territory of the Ktunaxa Nation.​​

​

I have completed a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology. I am registered as a Canadian Certified Counsellor with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association and an ADHD Certified Clinical Service Provider (ADHD-CCSP). Additionally, I am currently completing my Doctor of Clinical Psychology degree. 

​​

I have been wonderfully fortunate to support children, youth, and families for over 20 years, and to work as a therapist for more than a decade with children, youth, adults, families, 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals, immigrants and refugees, military, and first responders. My work has focused on family relationships, parenting, neurodivergence, men’s and women’s issues, grief and loss, trauma, addictions, and crisis management. ​

​

I am a proud member of a military family and understand the unique challenges that can come from navigating the military lifestyle. I am also a proud citizen of Metis Nation BC and understand the nuances of exploring and evolving one's cultural identity through a lens of privilege and honouring one's ancestral and cultural heritage and practices. 

​

I have a deep connection with the Rocky Mountains and have developed a love for the beauty and lifestyle of the West Coast. Thus, in my free time, I love visiting home to see friends and family throughout the changing seasons, adventuring through Vancouver Island’s beautiful naturescapes, snuggling with my 2 cats, and planning my next travel adventure. ​​​

​

It's lovely to meet you...

Hello, I'm Amanda.
