Life can be challenging. Relationships, family, school, work, and other stressors can feel overwhelming. Sometimes we can do everything “right” and things still don’t go as we wish. Don’t struggle alone. Amy knows what it is like to face the uncertainties of life, which is why she is passionate about creating a non-judgmental space where you can feel seen and heard. She is gifted as a natural empath and has a unique ability to challenge her clients to dig deeper while supporting them with the necessary tools and unconditional regard necessary for them to explore and find their answers within.

Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship challenges or parenting issues, Amy brings a wealth of life experiences and knowledge while utilizing evidence-based approaches to her treatment including humanistic, psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and existential therapy.

Taking the initiative to start counseling is a big step and it can be intimidating, but you deserve to experience the happiness and fulfillment that comes with doing the work of therapy.

As a therapist, I use a psychodynamic lens to uncover patterns from early relationships, ACT to clarify values and build psychological flexibility, and CBT to reframe thoughts and shape behaviors. We set clear goals, practice skills between sessions, and translate insights into daily choices that reduce symptoms and support lasting, values-aligned change.
