With over a decade of experience helping clients in the medical field,
it is an easy transition for Amber to be able to walk with you through
making sustainable changes in your life that invites more authenticity,
self inquiry, and offers a new way of being.
As a white settler on native land, she recognizes the ways in which she
benefits from colonization as well as the ongoing harm that Indigenous,
Metis and Inuit people face today. She is committed to ongoing
education, advocating for change, and practices from an anti-oppressive,
anti-racist, anti-carceral and trauma-informed lens.
Amber is a pretty chill, relatable counsellor that will walk alongside
you as you navigate life's...."waves arms around". Many clients are
navigating grief, starting over, medical issues, relational issues,
ADHD, anxiety or depression. With lived experience of depression,
anxiety, burnout, late diagnosis ADHD, she may offer practical tips and
psychoeducation, as well as empathetic understanding of how this affects
your life.
Using a person-centered approach and eclectic approach guided by
curiosity and compassion, Amber views therapy as relational and may
integrate interventions from a number of modalities, included, but not
limited to: Internal Family Systems, Somatics, Feminist Theory, arts,
emotion-focussed and psychodynamic therapies.
Outside of the therapy room, Amber can often be found in her community
representing several non-profit organizations. She is also a dedicated
pet-parent to a rescue dog named Nova, the child-free aunt that is
breaking all social norms, and an avid DIY-er. Her most recent project
is being a steward of a Free Little Library in her hometown.
If you have been struggling, or maybe just curious, schedule a free
20-minute consultation to see if the vibe is right. It's very important
to Amber that you feel comfortable with her and that you collaborate in
a meaningful way. Amber welcomes clients aged 16+ from all demographics.
