My name is Amy. I am a Registered Psychotherapist supporting adults (21+) across Ontario, Canada.
People often come to therapy when the ways they have been coping are no longer enough. This may happen during periods of burnout, grief, trauma, or significant life transitions, as well as when navigating the ongoing demands of relationships, work, caregiving, identity shifts, and responsibility in both personal and professional life.

My work is grounded in more than three decades of experience leading complex systems, teams, and community-based organizations. This background continues to shape how I understand people within the context of their environments, responsibilities, and lived realities.

I also work with neurodiverse adults, including those who are Autistic or living with ADHD, as well as individuals navigating disability, chronic illness, women’s health concerns, menopause, and midlife transitions. Whether formally diagnosed, self-identified, late-diagnosed, or still making sense of their experiences, clients are welcomed with curiosity, respect, and an understanding that wellbeing is shaped by both internal experience and the environments in which we live and work.

In 2008, I founded Recreational Respite, a national organization supporting neurodiverse individuals, people with disabilities, and those experiencing mental health challenges. Leading its growth continues to inform my understanding of access, inclusion, and the systems that support meaningful participation and wellbeing.

My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and neuro-affirming. Together, we explore what feels heavy, stuck, or out of alignment, and work toward greater clarity, steadiness, and sustainability in how you move through life.

I draw on evidence-based, trauma-informed approaches including EMDR, CPT, IFS, CBT, ACT, EFT, Pain Reprocessing Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, mindfulness-based approaches, and expressive arts practices, alongside specialized training in women’s health and midlife transitions.

I hold a BA (Hons.) in Disability Studies from Toronto Metropolitan University and an MA in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University. I am a Registered Psychotherapist in independent practice and good standing with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) and a member of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA).
