Hello! I’m Amy

Licensed Therapist

Welcome to my Practice!  I am so happy that you have landed here to read about what I have to offer.  In my almost 20 years of practice I have worked in a variety of settings and found one thing to be true; every individual has a story that deserves to be heard, accepted and validated.   I look forward to the opportunity and privilege to meet you and hear your story.

Women’s Mental Health

Is women’s mental health unique? YES! Life affects women and men differently. As women we are often asked to fulfill the roles of; the organizers, the caregivers, the task masters, the chef, and the nurturer. What makes this hard? We often cover each of these roles in the span of 1 hour. How do we make sure that we are also still paying attention to the role we have as an individual (woman) with goals and dreams?

I will help you to identify and create a roadmap to establishing good boundaries in your life and encourage you to carve out time to spend on individual growth and wellness.

 

 

 

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!
