Mission Hills Women’s Mental Health

I’m a warm, open women’s mental health therapist who offers a supportive, nonjudgmental space to explore life’s challenges and build meaningful change. If you’re considering therapy, I invite you to reach out for a consultation so we can connect and see how I can support you.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing

In our work together, EMDR can help you reduce the intensity of past experiences that continue to affect your emotions or reactions today.

Infertility

You can share whatever you’re feeling—grief, frustration, hope, confusion—without judgment, and I’ll help you make sense of it at your own pace.

Anxiety/Stress Reduction

Everyone experiences stress and anxiety at one time or another.  Anxiety is a reaction to the stress.

Hello I’m Amy

Licensed Therapist

I am a women’s therapist dedicated to supporting women as they reduce anxiety, build confidence, and move through self-doubt with greater clarity and self-trust.  My work integrates therapeutic support and coaching to help women navigate career decisions, strengthen relationship dynamics, and create meaningful balance in their lives.  I provide a warm, thoughtful space where women can explore challenges, develop practical tools, and reconnect with their values and strengths.  Together we focus on cultivating resilience, purpose, and lasting personal growth.

Women’s Mental Health

Is women’s mental health unique? Absolutely.

Life impacts women and men differently. As women, we navigate social expectations, career and relationship transitions, and the ongoing changes of our biology and hormones. Many of us are more likely to internalize stress, feeling anxiety around connection, self-worth, and our place in the world.

In therapy, acknowledging these layers creates space for compassionate, effective, and empowering support. I can help you identify your needs, set healthy boundaries, and build a roadmap toward a life grounded in empowerment, self-understanding, and meaningful connection.

Working with Amy has made a life-changing impact on my mental health and quality of life.

When I think back to where I was when I first met with Amy to where I am today, it brings a tear to my eye. Amy is such an amazing human being with such a special and unique power to not only make you think you are cared for, you can FEEL you are cared for every single appointment through her welcoming smile, the interest she shows, her recollection of your past conversations and celebrations of your growth, and every single victory – big or small.

If you’re looking for a sign to join therapy this is it.

Before starting with Amy, I was like most: skeptical of therapy but deep down knowing I was scared to unravel the years of hurt. Amy not only helps you unravel your mind while processing the way you navigate life, she also gives you the tools to move forward confidently to tackle your triggers and make healthier decisions in the day to day. I cannot put in to words how much therapy and Amy have changed my life! For the first time in my 28 years of life I can say I am mentally healthy and at peace.

I have been working with Amy for over three years since COVID lockdown when it felt like everything was crumbling around me.

At first, we dealt with my infertility together. Through that journey I discovered how skilled she is at helping to navigate through just about any issue that arises, from work to family to childhood traumas. She has become an invaluable advisor to me in my life. She is deeply intuitive and astute, and has been able to break down the most complicated situations into manageable pieces.  As if our partnership could possibly get any better, we recently embarked on EMDR together. What a revelation! The miraculous impact that EMDR has had on my relationships and how I show up in the world is hard to put into words. By reprocessing key moments of trauma in my life, the overhwelming anger, shame and sadness those memories used to immediately evoke, are now a thing of the past. In their place are now an increased sense of calm and ease.  Amy’s down to earth, warm tone and approach create such an environment of safety and trust. Due to our respective locations, we have worked exclusively through telehealth and still the results have been way beyond expectation, even when compared with my in-person therapy experiences.  I have so much gratitude for Amy and the positive changes she has brought to my daily life.

Amy's empathetic, humorous, and straightforward approach to therapy has been

an important framework for me to not only make sense of various inputs in my life but to make tangible changes in my behavior and thought patterns. From our work together, I have made progress on deeply ingrained patterns that I thought would be impossible to break, and have gained a deeper understanding of why I engage with the world the way I do. She has a uniquely effective way of encouraging accountability while deeply empathizing with her clients. I would strongly recommend her to anyone!
