Amy is a Registered Social Worker holding a master’s degree. She is a full member of the BC Association of Social Workers.

Since 1999 Amy has worked in diverse community settings walking alongside people navigating a wide array of challenges.

In addition to academic education, Amy has taken counselling specific trainings that include,

• Advanced Narrative Therapy through the Vancouver School of Narrative Therapy

• Feminist-narrative praxis immersion with Prochoices Narrative Therapy Community Clinic.

• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Through EMDR Consulting

• Somatic Experiencing – Mariah Moser

• Completed Postpartum International Support Certificate program

• Dona Birth and postpartum Doula Training

Further to the above trainings Amy completed a counselling practicum with the Capital Regional District (CRD) Perinatal Counselling Program. Working with families during pregnancy and postpartum is a large focus of Amy’s work.

Walking alongside families who experience early or late term loss is also a large part of Amy’s practice. Perinatal loss is a particular experience that is deeply personal and unlike other forms of grief and loss.

Amy’s approach to counselling is as a collaborative process informed by anti-oppressive and trauma sensitive lenses.

Engaging in therapy can be a very helpful process for many people. Therapy is most effective when the yourself and the counsellor you work with are a good fit. It is recommended to shop around for a provider who you feel comfortable with. For this reason Amy offers a free 30 minute conversation to new clients as a way to meet and greet without obligation.

Please note, many extended medical plans cover session costs when working with a RSW. You will receive a receipt after each session to submit to your provider. Please connect with Amy if you have questions.
