I offer a warm, non-judgmental space for healing and growth. I am here to help you explore your emotions, navigate life’s challenges, and uncover the deeper patterns and beliefs that contribute to distress. My approach to therapy is relational, psychodynamic, and trauma-informed. I support clients with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, life transitions, personal growth, low self-esteem, disordered eating and body image, questions of gender and sexuality, complex family dynamics, and grief. My practice is affirming of LGBTQ+ identities, alternative relationship styles, and kink communities.
I provide therapy to adults, couples, and teens in San Francisco, Berkeley, and via telehealth in California. My style is warm, holistic, and collaborative. Our work together will be grounded in trust, empathy, and respect, creating a safe space for healing and transformation.
I deeply believe in the power of therapy. Through both personal experience and my work with clients, I have seen the growth that can emerge from a safe, compassionate space for exploration and healing. It is a privilege to help the people who come to see me. I look forward to connecting with you!

Amy is a wonderful person and skilled therapist! She is warm, thoughtful, and compassionate with smart psychodynamic insight. Great all around therapist, but has a special knack for working with anxiety, low self-esteem, and/or perfectionism.
