As Hummingbird Therapy’s Wellness Program Director, Amanda oversees the delivery of preventative mental health programs to First Rsponder Organisations.

Amanda works to empower her clients with the skills to generate internal strength, calm, confidence and reduce stress, anxiety, fear and depression.

An integrative approach means I draw from my training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Trauma Focused CBT for Children and Emotion Focused Family Therapy (EFFT).  I have facilitated group therapy for kids and teens dealing with anxiety and have also co-facilitated critical incident debriefing sessions for teens.

Pairing instruction with intention, I dedicate time to helping others in Newmarket by volunteering with community meal programs. It is important to me to continue to give back to those in my community. Some of my hobbies include camping, cycling and reading as well as spending time with family.

In our work together, we can focus on developing coping skills, and build upon your strengths to create hopeful visions of the future. I welcome anyone who is in need of space held for deep reflection, to gather insight, to process heavy emotions, to express difficult thoughts and feelings, to cope with traumatic stress, and work through internal conflicts.
I work with an eclectic approach using different evidence-based practices and modalities, such as Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), CBT, strength-based, DBT, just to name a few, in order to find what works best for you as a unique individual.

While I believe in the effectiveness of specific modalities such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) and Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), I tend to use a variety of evidence-based trauma-informed therapeutic techniques that I will tailor to your individual needs. I believe you are the expert of your own life and I am here to provide non-judgmental, empathic support and guidance along your therapeutic journey. As we work together my hope is that you will increase your own self-awareness, consider new perspectives and learn to use healthy coping strategies so you can live a fulfilling and meaningful life.
I am passionate about working with first responders, and their families as well as families of individuals with eating disorders. Additionally, I support individuals, couples and groups that may be struggling with various issues that include but are not limited to anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, eating disorders, ADHD, relationship and family issues. I am passionate about developing a safe, nurturing and collaborative relationship with all of my clients.
You are not alone, I believe that you have landed on this page for a reason; there is great strength and resilience inside of you and I am here to help you rediscover it and harness it towards overall wellness, one step at a time.

As well, I have a passion for working with first responders and family members of first responders. I have the privilege to work with Badge of Life Canada as their mental health expert for their Wednesday night peer support groups. I hold my first responder clients close to my heart and share an abundant amount of empathy for them and those surrounding them.
At the heart of my clinical practice is the belief in being collaborative, compassionate, and supportive of my clients always. I can sometimes bring about some humour, as I think it’s important to be able to find the light, but my goal is always to create a safe environment for you to risk and try something different. I work with individuals and couples and am sex therapy informed.

I am passionate about health advocacy and health education, volunteering both as a peer mentor and advocate for a registered charity that is close to my heart.  I participate in speaking engagements to promote awareness, programs and services that benefit those affected by disease, along with their loved ones.

In my spare time, you can find me dragon boating with a wonderful group of breast cancer survivors!
