Hello! My name is Amaris and I'm happy you're here :) Do you ever feel confused by your behavior? Do you act in ways that are incongruent with who you want to be? Do you struggle with self-doubt and wish you could have more confidence? There are always reasons why people do the things they do. My approach is to help alleviate shame and unnecessary guilt by helping clients understand the “why” behind their emotions and behaviors. I use a trauma-informed approach with all my clients and aim to create an emotionally safe space to explore vulnerable thoughts and feelings. Sometimes personal growth means accepting that you're either going to deal with your stuff, or your stuff is going to deal with you. Therapy is a great place to start the healing process.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

It can be difficult to find quiet, uninterrupted, non-judgemental spaces where we can explore our inner world. Many friends and family have biased opinions and give us feedback based on their own experiences. Therapy offers an uninterrupted, professional, ethical, confidential, and validating space to share your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I always aim to create an emotionally safe space where you can practice vulnerability.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I believe a variety of mental health issues are birthed out of unresolved trauma. If you have extensive trauma in your background, I'm glad you are here and would love to partner with you to help you find healing. I offer a non-religious space, making room for whatever belief system you do or don't have. I also highly value diversity and inclusion, making your therapy experience an LGBTQ+, Transgender, and BIPOC safe space.
