First things first: I have limited availability, during the day on Tuesday and Friday, for individual therapy and/or couples therapy. If you have or no someone who would find support in a Chronic Lyme therapy group for men (trans and non-binary folx VERY welcome) please reach out to me. This closed group will start Winter 2024, meet bi-weekly and focus on community/solidarity, navigating care systems, myths about Lyme, system failure and chronic illness, the haunting of "the good sick person", anger and illness, and much more.
Hi, I'm Amy. I am a therapist and a human who likes sci-fi, my dog "Dottie", ice cream, and consent. I care about your voice, what you want and need vs. what you've been told to want and need. I'm curious about your boundaries. What makes you giggle? What hurts the most? What do you care about?
I enjoy working with teens and adults experiencing; chronic illness (especially Chronic Lyme Disease), anxiety, trauma, first-episode psychosis, systems survival, identity and relationship challenges, depression, grief and loss, life transitions, and parenting challenges.
