Welcome to Amani Therapy!
We are two humans who approach therapy with authenticity, curiosity, compassion, and a steady trust in your capacity to grow.
Whether you're learning to identify your needs for the first time, tend to yourself with greater compassion, love courageously, or untangle residue of the past, we will honour your pace (with the occasional gentle nudge).
We believe that therapy can be a place to practice self-trust, tolerate uncertainty, clock those "micro joys", and engage with life as it unfolds rather than waiting for it to feel ready or certain. At times therapy may also offer a space to savour those tender moments of connection, ease and possibility (the ooey gooeys).
We understand that this work can be equal parts beautiful and uncomfortable, but believe that growth often lives in that space in between.
Individual Psychotherapy
If you've ever said, “I'm fine,” while very much not being fine, you’re in the right place.
Whether you're unlearning people-pleasing, softening hyper-independence, navigating parenthood without losing yourself, or reconnecting with your values, we’ll work together by slowing things down and paying attention to what’s happening in your body, your mind, and your relationships (probably with some tears and a few laughs along the way).
You bring your full, imperfect, figuring-it-out self and let’s get to work..or rest.
Amani (a . MON . ee)
“Amani” is a Swahili word representing peace, calm and tranquility. Beyond its linguistic beauty, it points to a state that many of us quietly search for amid the chaos of modern life. In that search, we often turn to distractions, productivity, or isolation.
Finding a sense of calm will look different for everyone. It may look like the ability to make space for emotions non-judgmentally, giving yourself permission to unmask or undoing aloneness.
When we approach our inner world with presence and curiosity, we can begin to connect more deeply with ourselves, with others, and with the richness of life.
