I begin treatment with a client-centered approach by actively listening, demonstrating positive unconditional regard, and maintaining a non-judgmental attitude. I believe building trust, promoting a safe space where my client’s values and experiences are respected, and demonstrating my advocacy for their efforts is fundamental for engagement in treatment. Gathering information about my client’s background, engaging in ongoing assessment of their motivation and perceptions toward treatment, and identifying factors that facilitate and challenge their treatment process is also imperative.

With well over a decade’s worth of experience, and meeting clients at various moments in their lives, I find myself being more of a guide in the therapeutic process than anything else. As a therapist, I take pride in creating a space where clients can explore, heal and process their thoughts and feelings in a safe, welcoming, and encouraging environment. At my core, I am a relational therapist that will bring in a Strength-Based approach and incorporate mindfulness into sessions as well. It is important for me to meet my clients where they are, and collaborate with them so they get the most out of their time in therapy.

Therapy can be Inspiring and Overwhelming. It can trigger emotions and answers you are seeking within you. Just know that you are not alone in this journey. I may be the right person, but only you will be able to answer that question.

At the core of my approach is the belief in your power as an individual. Your unique experiences and feelings are like a compass guiding our work together. I use the Psychodynamic model. We'll explore your thoughts and emotions to find insights and practical solutions that truly resonate with you. As we understand your individual process, we will also highlight the importance of relationships. Meaningful connections are the foundation of our lives, whether with family, friends, or others, all of which play a vital role in nurturing well-being.

Mental strength is not the ability to stay out of the darkness, it's the ability to sit present in the darkness knowing the light will shine again. If you are seeking help, often times it can be an overwhelming and humbling experience. Finding a therapist that you feel comfortable with and at ease can be challenging, but once it is a good match, you will be able to overcome your obstacles. Remember, you are the expert in your own life, and being in therapy we will improve some aspect of it. With empathy, trust, accountability and respect, we will work together to see the light.

I typically work with adults dealing with issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma, stress management and life transitions. I am experienced in working with clients from diverse backgrounds and have a special interest in providing culturally competent therapy.

Therapy is about learning to love yourself and grow despite your mistakes. It is about finding the joy in giving without expecting anything in return. It is about welcoming your struggles with the same strength and enthusiasm that you welcome your victories, for it is through our struggles that we grow. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

Life can be overwhelming. Many people find themselves struggling with anxiety, depression, anger, or relationship issues that seem insurmountable. You might be feeling disconnected, stressed, or stuck in patterns that bring more pain than peace. Perhaps you're looking for a way to manage these intense emotions, rebuild connections, or simply find a sense of direction. What you want is relief—relief from the burdens that weigh you down and guidance to lead a life filled with meaning, joy, and strong relationships.

You may choose to seek therapy during times of emotional pain or when you wish to merely grow. Whatever your reasoning is, I can provide ways for you to work through various issues, learn about feelings, understand the different patterns of thinking by gaining perspective on past/current events in your life, provide support with relationships, processing past/current trauma and learning positive coping tools to meet your needs by providing the highest quality care.

I specialize in helping individuals, couples, and families navigate through life's challenges and improve their relationships. With a compassionate and understanding approach, I work with clients to identify patterns of behavior that may be causing conflict or distress and help them develop new coping skills and strategies to better communicate and connect with loved ones.

Hi there, I'm Amy! I work with families and individual family members in the form of family therapy sessions, marriage or couples counseling, domestic violence issues, depressive disorders, anxiety, and conduct disorders. I utilize psychodynamic and behavioral cognitive techniques including hypnosis, visualization imagery, relaxation, and systematic desensitization. I also administer psychological tests and write psychological assessment reports. My approach to therapy is from a developmental perspective and I do well with challenging cases.

As a Therapy practice we love to help everyone! no matter what the situation is, our purpose is to help anyone struggling during these times!

Do you struggle with anxiety, depression? Is it keeping you from doing the things that you love and functioning the way that you want to? Is it creeping up on you when you least expect? Or are life's struggles too hard to carry on your shoulders, too much to keep on going? At times, these issues are there and intended for us to process through, to overcome the challenges and know how to have coping skills and tools to battle them again in the future. Trauma is no different, and as it holds you back from doing the things you love, learn how to stop that cycle, and take control of it.

We treat depression, anxiety, and trauma. We also provide help to heal relationships both romantic and otherwise. Our approach is to address underlying issues and provide treatment that heals the person as a whole. We utilize evidence-based and self-empowering modalities and create a safe space for you to work towards gaining insight into your choices and behaviors. We guide you to set your own goals and arrive at your own solutions as we believe you have the answers and need a supportive space to see them. It takes a lot of courage and humility to ask for help and we make every effort to make your investment count.
