I work with a wide range of concerns, because anxiety, stress, and trauma rarely show up in isolation. Many people come in carrying layers of emotional, relational, and life‑stage challenges, and therapy becomes a place to make sense of all of it at a pace that feels manageable.
I support clients navigating depression, chronic stress, anxiety, career uncertainty, self‑esteem struggles, grief and loss, relationship patterns, parenting challenges, sexual orientation and identity exploration, and perinatal or postpartum transitions.
No matter what brings you in, we work together to understand what your nervous system has been holding, what it needs now, and how to move toward steadier, more grounded ways of being in your life.
I have extensive experience supporting families through moments of strain — whether that’s navigating a crisis, managing ongoing conflict, or finding steadier ways to parent when everyone’s nervous systems are stretched thin. Together, we slow things down so you can respond with clarity rather than urgency, and begin to rebuild a sense of stability at home.
I also work closely with adolescents, including those with learning differences or challenges around emotional regulation and anger. Teens often communicate their overwhelm through behaviour, not words, and therapy offers a space where they can feel understood rather than judged. We focus on helping them make sense of what’s happening inside, develop practical skills, and strengthen their capacity to cope with school, relationships, and big feelings.
My role is to support both the young person and the adults around them — creating a more connected, compassionate system where everyone has room to breathe and grow.
I work closely with people whose systems are running on overdrive — whether that shows up as constant worry, looping thoughts, physical tension, or full‑blown panic. Together, we slow things down and make sense of what your anxiety is trying to protect you from.
Instead of a generic list of coping skills, we build a set of practices that actually fit you — tools you can use in real time to steady your body, interrupt spirals, and soften the grip of harsh self‑talk.
Over time, you learn how to work with your nervous system rather than against it, so you can move through your days with more clarity, choice, and ease.
EMDR is a structured, evidence‑informed therapy that helps your nervous system process experiences that feel “stuck.” Instead of talking through every detail, you briefly bring a memory, sensation, or fear to mind while engaging in bilateral stimulation — often gentle eye movements or tapping. This creates the conditions for your brain to update old alarm patterns and reduce the intensity, vividness, or emotional charge that has been holding you back.
EMDR can be helpful not only for trauma and complex trauma, but also for panic, phobias, and certain OCD‑related fears where the body reacts as if the threat is happening right now. Over time, your system learns that the past is over, the danger has passed, and you have more space to respond rather than react.
Amanda offers individual and dyadic supervision grounded in curiosity, collaboration, and a deep respect for your emerging clinical voice. Supervision is a space to explore who you are as a therapist — not just what you do — while expanding your skills and confidence with complex client work.
Sessions weave together structured conversation, reflective inquiry, practical exercises, and learning tools that help you strengthen your clinical instincts and broaden your therapeutic toolbox.
If you’re looking to deepen your work with anxiety and trauma using evidence‑based, nervous‑system‑informed approaches — and you’re drawn to understanding the neurobiology behind why our clients respond the way they do — Amanda would be glad to connect and discuss supervision structure and rates.
We offer services via phone and video, as well as in-person.
