Hi, I'm Amy! Therapy is a space to confront what is not working while supporting your strengths. I work with adults and teens who are looking to improve their wellness, manage emotions, develop self-esteem, improve communication, and cope with stress. Together, we will help you respond rather than react. I am also a Certified Perinatal Mental Health Therapist (PMH-C) and have a particular interest in working with clients facing fertility challenges, pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum, and infant parenthood. Overall, my goal is for therapy to provide a place where you feel understood and capable.
I draw upon CBT, DBT, EMDR, and Psychodynamic interventions combined with mind-body awareness to develop a holistic approach to well-being. Throughout therapy, we work together to uncover core beliefs, explore different perspectives, and commit to changing behaviors. My role is to help you understand thoughts, manage feelings, and improve self-compassion.
You deserve to develop skills that will help you cope with life. Therapy is hard work and also very rewarding. It can be intimidating to start therapy and tell a stranger your thoughts and feelings. Developing a rapport together is the first priority. I look forward to getting to know you.
