What People Say

Amy is a knowledgeable, kind and patient teacher. Her explanation of how to develop and access support from inner resources has given me a practical tool that I use in my daily life and I also share this information with my clients. I would recommend her courses to anyone wanting to have a stronger sense of self, confidence, and ways of center oneself when there is chaos either internally or externally.

Conflict Options Counseling Victoria, BC, Canada

I've known Amy since 2007 when I was conditionally licensed - my experience was so positive I have chosen to continue to consult with her through the evolution of my practice to date. I am eternally grateful to Amy for the positive influence she has had in my growth as a professional and would highly recommend her services to anyone at any phase of their practice.

Although Amy is a seasoned therapist, she is a "life-long" learner and sees herself as a "work in progress." She has a lively passion for learning and takes full advantage of incorporating new techniques and creative ideas into her work that she believes will enhance her clients and move them towards stable relational changes. Her academic curiosity is tremendous, and her diverse clinical skills only scratch the surface of her abilities and character. Amy is a humanist, with a genuine care for mankind; it is no surprise that Amy is well-liked and admired by her peers. To know Amy is to be inspired.
