Amanda completed her Bachelor of Social Work with a minor in psychology as well as her Masters of Social Work at the University of Windsor. She also completed the Autism and Behavioural Science Certificate at St. Clair College. Amanda has worked as a behaviour therapist with children and youth from the ages of 2-18 living with autism spectrum disorder for the past 8 years. She has great experience in helping children work through big emotions, and also with behaviour reduction and replacement strategies. 

As a registered social worker, Amanda prides herself in being able to connect with her clients and create a safe, and fun environment for learning to take place. She values the importance of connection when developing a therapeutic relationship in order for healing and positive change to occur. In a session with Amanda, you will find her engaged with your child in play, and while it may look like fun, Amanda is working with your child to develop coping mechanisms, emotional intelligence, self-regulation, confidence, social skills, and more! Amanda enjoys connecting with families to ensure that caregivers have all the tools they need to help their children thrive.
