I work with people of various backgrounds, especially adults and teens in the LGBTQ+ community and individuals with a history of trauma. Using a mix of evidence-based interventions like EMDR, Internal Family Systems, along with a somatic, multicultural and feminist lens, I aim to provide a safe, supportive environment where you can explore all the parts of yourself. I believe the key to progress in therapy is curiosity and a commitment to yourself, and my goal as your therapist is to walk alongside you as you discover your own personal power!

Do you long to experience change in your life? Maybe you're feeling defeated and depressed, seeking freedom from anxiety or a shaming voice inside, longing for deeper connection in relationships, or facing a difficult transition or loss. Whatever you're experiencing, I believe there is no cookie cutter approach to addressing the complex problems of life. I view psychotherapy as a coming alongside journey that creates an open, safe space where you as a whole person and the particulars of your story (including those places where you feel most stuck) can be explored, understood, and worked through to cultivate hope and transformation.

Your thoughts are tumbling and your emotions are swirling as you reflect on past wounds, present struggles, or future unpredictability. Perhaps one part of you is reaching towards the hope that these hurts will subside, yet there is the overflow of "what ifs" and "shoulds" that are screaming for your attention.
Perhaps you are a parent who feels that you are constantly grasping in the dark for a solution that will soothe your child's struggles. Or perhaps you are a child who experienced something or a series of somethings that disrupted your capacity to feel safe, secure, and accepted.

Your child is smart, capable, and full of potential— but getting through the day can feel exhausting for everyone. Maybe they're constantly in motion, struggling to focus, acting before they think, or melting down when emotions get too big. School may be a challenge. Friendships may be harder than they should be. You know there's more to your child than the behaviors others see, but it can feel frustrating when they're constantly being corrected, redirected, or misunderstood. Beneath it all, you want them to feel confident, successful, and understood for who they truly are.

As far as most people know you have a good life but deep down you know that things are not OK. You're not feeling yourself, consumed by worries. You don't trust yourself anymore and how you got to this place. You are having thoughts that are troubling and too embarrassing to admit. Though you try to talk about it with friends and family, they don't seem to get it. You long for connection and understanding.

I believe that lasting healing comes not from simply changing behaviors, but from understanding the experiences, emotions, and protective patterns that gave rise to them. My work is rooted in the belief that symptoms are meaningful adaptations rather than problems to eliminate. Therapy becomes a space where clients can develop curiosity and compassion toward themselves while creating new ways of relating to their emotions, relationships, and bodies. I believe that healing occurs not through shame or force, but through safety, connection, and the opportunity to experience oneself and connection to others differently.

Trauma leaves us vulnerable and struggling to trust. Often, you may feel as though if you want to belong, you can never be your true-self. Your body will hold onto your experiences long after the events have passed. Trauma often causes you to wear a mask - to keep your true self safe and hidden. If you feel suffocated, lost and disconnected - confused about who you are - you are welcome here in every way. Authenticity and safety are vital to healing. I specialize in trauma work, parenting, and attachment to help individuals and families who are struggling with connection to lead more meaningful and fulfilling lives.

Most clients I see are adults and older adolescents who are navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, identity exploration, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. Many come to therapy seeking greater self-understanding, improved coping skills, and a stronger sense of confidence and connection.
I work collaboratively with clients to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where they can explore their experiences, build on their strengths, and develop practical tools for long-term change. Together, we identify meaningful goals and take manageable steps toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.

Hello! I’m a licensed clinical social worker and I have worked in school social work, foster care, adoption, adolescent residential treatment, crisis assessment at Pine Rest Hospital, and outpatient treatment. I have been in private practice for 20 years. It is my privilege to listen to, and be with, people in their stories. Making sense of our narrative is a fundamental component to a healthy mind and spirit. And making peace with our perfectly imperfect, and unique version of humanity is essential for our emotional life and our thought space. It would be my privilege to hear your story. Peace, Amy

For years, you've been the woman everyone can count on. You've cared for children, supported a partner, helped aging parents, built a career, managed a household— or all of the above. On the outside, you are capable and strong. Yet somewhere along the way, you've become disconnected from yourself. Maybe you're entering a new season of life, facing an empty nest, changing relationships, caregiving demands, or simply wondering who you are beyond taking care of everyone else. You want to stop giving every piece of yourself away and start discovering who you are underneath all the roles you've carried.

Being a child in today’s changing world is not easy, and parenting our children through the struggles they are facing can make us feel inadequate, helpless, and unsure. How do we support our children navigating through anxiety, depression, school issues, troubles with peers, grief and loss? Sometimes, kids and families need extra support, and there is no shame in seeking support and help for our kids (and ourselves) as they journey through life. Quite the opposite...doing so can provide them with the tools and coping skills they need in order to tackle whatever they are experiencing, now and in the future.

You recognize that meaningful change begins with self-awareness—and you are ready to explore that process to create more authentic, connected relationships.
