About Amanda

With over 15 years of experience in adult and children’s mental health, and another 10 beyond that in child development/care, I realize that life happens in many forms, with everyone experiencing and perceiving it differently. I see everyone as an individual, whose shoes I can never walk in, but hopefully I can support and walk beside for a time. All people are challenged in their lifetime, but for individuals and their families who have special needs, this is an on-going quest. I bring much experience working with youth and their families, and so through play, hands-on experience, and talking , I believe I can support you or a loved one in moving beyond a difficult time in life. My background includes an English diploma in BTEC Nursery Nursing, a Canadian equivalency in Early Childhood Education (RECE #02565), a degree in Child and Youth Care, and a Master’s degree in Public Health Studies. I have subsequent certificates in Infant Mental Health and Parenting Capacity, education in child psychoanalysis, as well as being a Registered Psychotherapist (RP #006578). My particular experience now centres on youth, and their families with mental health needs and/or dual diagnoses (special needs). I use a cognitive behavioural and solution focused approach for much of my work, but being eclectic in approach is also an asset when working with the population I do. My Master’s thesis stated that ‘children are not machines that can be fixed in a certain timeframe or manner,’ and I stand by this over 10 years later.
