Welcome :) I'm Amy and my goal as a therapist is to aid you in the process of healing attachment wounds, relationship trauma, and building healthy relationships. Throughout the course of our life, starting from when we're just children, we experience a variety of relationships that affect how we navigate our interactions with others in our day to day life. With unhealthy bonds, boundaries being broken, codependency and abuse, many struggle to uphold their values and self worth. I aim to help you find your best self, self love, and strength to take charge in your future. I strive to help you on the journey to finding a healthy life.

Welcome! You’re here because you or your partner is hurting. Whether you’re dealing with "Big T" traumas like abuse or "little t" traumas like feeling repeatedly rejected, a part of us gets stuck when the "no-good-dirty-rotten-thing" happens. But you don’t have to stay there. I help you escape the grip of trauma, depression, and complex challenges like Bipolar disorder or navigating narcissism. We hold pain in our bodies as tension—a physical echo of a nervous system that doesn’t feel safe. It no longer has to dictate how you love, parent, or work. I am here to help you move forward into the life you deserve.

Life experiences, past and present, impact us in many ways. Without support, stressful events can lead to overwhelm, uncertainty, or isolation. Untreated stress and trauma may result in anxiety, depression, or PTSD.

Therapy provides a safe, nonjudgmental space for you to dig deep, explore what's ailing you, and find solutions for change and healing.

Never in a million years did you think you’d be searching for a therapist to help you work through infidelity. If you're the unfaithful partner, you're likely wondering how you let it get to this place, and how to proceed without inflicting more damage than has already been done. If you're the "betrayed" partner, everything feels really intense right now – the rupture, the grief, the unanswered questions, the revenge plotting, the instinct to do anything that will provide relief from this pain. Although you may feel like it’s all a mess, I know there’s a part of you that wants to see if your relationship can recover from an affair.

FAQ - About In Person Therapy
What are the benefits of in-person therapy?
In-person therapy offers several benefits that some people find highly valuable for their mental health treatment. Being present in the same room as your therapist can create a stronger sense of connection and allow for more nuanced communication through body language. Some people may also find it easier to focus in therapy when they are in a dedicated space and away from potential distractions related to home or work; attending an in-person session provides a clear boundary between therapy time and the rest of your life. For certain therapeutic approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), exposure therapy, or somatic therapy, being in person may be particularly important, as these therapies benefit from the therapist being able to observe and respond to a client’s physical cues effectively. Additionally, some individuals simply feel more comfortable discussing sensitive or painful topics when they are face-to-face with their therapist rather than on a screen.
When should I choose in-person therapy over online therapy?
In-person therapy may be a better choice when you need a structured therapeutic environment separate from your daily life, when you find it difficult to focus or feel comfortable in an online setting, or when privacy at home is a concern. It may also be more appropriate if you are dealing with severe mental health symptoms that require close monitoring or if your therapy involves approaches that rely heavily on observing physical cues. On the other hand, if convenience, scheduling flexibility, or access to specialists outside your immediate area are priorities, online therapy may be a better fit. Many therapists offer both options, so you can also discuss with a provider which format might work best for your specific situation.
How do I find an in-person therapist?
You can use Psychology Today's therapist directory to find an in-person therapist in your area. You can search by location, insurance accepted, specialty areas, therapeutic approaches, and other criteria to narrow down providers who meet your needs. Each therapist profile includes information about their credentials, areas of expertise, and whether they offer in-person sessions. Once you have identified potential therapists, you can contact them directly through the directory to schedule an initial consultation and determine whether they are a good fit before committing to ongoing treatment. When reaching out, it can be helpful to confirm their availability for in-person appointments, their office location, and whether they accept your insurance.
