Hi, I'm Amy Jo! I practice a strengths-based, trauma-focused approach to therapy. I work with individuals that are victims of trauma, teens struggling with compulsive behavior & emotional distress, families who have difficulty overcoming their differences, adults who want more out of life & to worry less, & couples longing for strengthened partnerships. What every single one of them has in common, is a hopeful desire for better understanding and deeper meaning about themselves, as well as fostering & nurturing healthy relationships; especially the one they have with themselves.

Are you feeling stuck or trapped with behaviors or thoughts that no longer serve you? Maybe you have seen a few therapists, talked endlessly about your trauma, learned coping skills, and you know in your mind that it’s over and in the past but your body still feels disconnected, on high alert, or both. I am certified in EMDR Therapy, a trauma-focused therapy that works with our brain’s natural capacity to digest difficult experiences that keep us stuck. Whether your lived experiences have led you to struggle with depression, intrusive trauma symptoms, or relationship difficulties; I am here to carry it with you.

I know that asking for help can be a difficult process especially when it comes to the mental health of your child. We have all had times in our lives when we and/or our kids needed extra support to be healthier. I am a Private Practice Therapist and a Registered Play Therapist (aka: I have a lot of training and experience counseling kids). I enjoy helping kids who struggle with attachment issues and/or have experienced trauma which is why I am trained in the two evidenced based trauma therapy treatments (TFCBT and EMDR) and in Theraplay Level 1 to grow relational attachment. Many of my clients are foster care or adopted kids.

Life can bring feelings of anxiety, uncertainty, or even self-doubt. You want the feelings you're experiencing to pass. You wait, and wait, but they're still there. It's exhausting and you've grown tired of balancing daily life with these struggles. Not anymore. It's time for a change.

While much of my time as an LPC has been spent working with kids and adolescents with a complex trauma history, I have been slowly navigating to a change in clientele. My ideal client are those in the parenting role (biological, adoptive, foster, kinship etc...) who are navigating parenting challenges related to: breaking cycles, raising children with complex needs, working through their own trauma history, attachment, infertility, etc... I am also available to take on adolescents and young adults who are navigating trauma symptoms.

Life can often feel dull and painful. At times, these experiences can feel overwhelming, and too much to deal with alone. I believe it is at this vulnerable, challenging place where a relationship with a therapist can provide healing. Within the therapeutic process we begin to untangle the difficulties that we face as a result of life, and slowly move forward together with hope, one step at a time. Relationships with ourselves, and those around us, are the driving force for this hope.

Hi there. I’m not sure what has taken place in your life to search for a counselor, but I imagine you as brave for doing just that. The idea of opening the door into change is a risky prospect – what will the journey be like on the other side? Sometimes the unknown in itself is enough to keep us married to our current predicament. And yet, there’s still a part of you (however large or small right now) that wonders about something different. I think of that part as Hope. Hope stirs curiosity inside of us and invites us to reimagine our circumstances. Hope has led you here.

I believe children have an innate ability to grow in a positive direction. The child-therapist relationship is the element that encourages healing, where the child feels safe, supported, and is able to make those changes that lead to growth through exploring self (experiences, feelings, thoughts, and behaviors). When we meet a child's need, rather than focus on the behavior, we begin to deal with the cause, not the symptom. I focus on possibilities, strengths, and value differences through direct and indirect practices.
