Amadea aims to create a warm, collaborative, and compassionate space for her clients to feel heard and seen. Amadea believes that healing occurs within relationships, and as such, she prioritizes the therapeutic relationship above all else. She practices from a trauma-informed integrative approach, primarily using Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing therapy (EMDR), Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT), Trauma-informed stabilization treatment (TIST), and draws on Sensorimotor psychotherapy, mindfulness, dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) and attachment theory, among others. Amadea aims to practice from a culturally infused, 2SLGBTQ+ affirmative, intersectional lens, and welcomes clients from all backgrounds, cultures, abilities, and orientations.

Amadea completed her Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology at McGill University.  She enjoys working with adults, young adults, and students experiencing a range of challenges including trauma, anxiety, depression, stress, emotional challenges, difficulty in relationships, identity exploration, self-esteem challenges, grief and loss, life transitions, and personal growth, among others.
