Hello, my name is Amy, and I too have experienced some of the challenges that life can thrust upon you. It is my passion to pay forward to you, all the things I have learned in order for you to live life to the fullest, without the restraints that mental health issues can bestow upon us. Through laughter, empathy, compassion and relatability I am able to connect with others and meet them where they are at in their life. I will walk along side you through this healing journey, as it is your self determination and a desire for greater well being that has brought you to this moment.

When pain lingers long enough or becomes greater than our ability to keep going, we finally become willing to do whatever it takes to feel relief. Psychological and emotional distress affects our sleep, eating behaviors, use of alcohol and other drugs, our well-being, and our ability to function at home, work, and in our relationships. We're often left with fear, anxiety, anger, frustration, confusion, depression, self-doubt, failure, hopelessness, and even total despair.

Imagine finally getting to feel like yourself. Allowing nourishing space and support to help gently lift the layers that you’ve been carrying - all the things that are not yours and were never yours.

Together, we’ll tend to all that’s here so that you truly feel safe enough and steady enough to meet each moment with curiosity and meet it as a friend.I know you’ve already done so much healing and so much work - and that’s an understatement. It’s time to try something different.

I am a licensed professional counselor and have been in practice for 10 years. I use evidenced based practices to address trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction, and relationship challenges. Most unhealthy coping behaviors were survival skills. These skills were beneficial but now interfere with joy and connection. There is relief in exploring outdated coping strategies and replacing with current strategies that facilitate authenticity, closeness, and peace.
