Amy brings a patient and calming spirit to therapy, along with her good spirited humor, creating a safe environment for her clients to address their needs. "Therapy can be hard work.

I value the mind-body connection and believe we can find healing when we approach our health from a holistic perspective. Counseling requires a lot of effort and can only be truly transformative if you show up as yourself. I will show up as mine and that may include laughing, maybe some crying, and definitely some hard conversations. I am passionate about helping people adjust to parenting or other life transitions, and those with anxiety and self-esteem issues. My role is to listen, ask questions, guide, and challenge you to shape your own path. Let's dig in!

My ideal client is someone who is ready for new results. I love helping people create what is really important for their life, and I am committed to being someone who can push them to have it. The most successful couples I work with have struggled with infidelity, considered divorce, or lost the fireworks in their marriage. The most successful individuals I work with have struggled with anxiety, addiction, intimacy issues, death/loss, or finding a purpose. All of my clients who succeed are open to exploring new ideas and hungry for change. Our conversations are action-oriented and results driven. Most of our sessions are fun.

I specialize in helping clients learn to take control of their anxiety and lives by examining the impact of internal pressure (like unhealthy self-talk) and external triggers (like toxic relationships) and replacing what doesn't work with strategies to feel more empowered. I firmly believe that the way that we speak to ourselves impacts how we handle the pressures we face and let's be honest, we are often our own harshest critics. That is why I use a strengths-based approach to treatment to help clients get rid of hurtful self-talk and learn to embrace their own power!

I have been in the helping field for over fifteen years.

I'm a licensed therapist with over 10 years in the mental health field. I gained my therapeutic skills as a school counselor, school based mental health clinician, and private practice work. I enjoy working with children, adolescents, and families on issues of depression, anxiety, ADHD, parenting, adjustments/transitions, and other mental health concerns. I'm here to help my clients meet their goals by providing a safe and non-judgmental environment where they feel respected and accepted.

I believe that each of us has the potential to achieve most all of the goals that we have. When emotions or behaviors prevent you from reaching your potential, counseling can be very helpful. My goal is to provide quality, effective, confidential evaluation and counseling services while maintaining excellent relationships with physicians and other professionals who may also be helping you. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults with emotional, behavioral, relationship difficulties. I also provide pre-surgical assessments for bariatric and pain management surgeries.

I believe that effective therapy begins with a person-centered approach, recognizing the unique experiences and needs of each individual. My guiding philosophy is that one cannot help others heal without first helping oneself. This principle shapes my commitment to personal growth and self-care, enabling me to provide the best possible support to my clients.

I consider it my personal mission to reduce the divorce rate in the United States, 1 couple at a time. But preventing divorce will only be succesful if, in place of unfulfilling or chronically dysfunctional marriages, couples develop truly thriving marriages & deeply fulfilling relationships. Even in the most hopeless-seeming cases, couples can heal the damage from the past and move forward in a healthier way. Not all marriages can be saved, but when couples do the work to heal the past, their future can be happier, no matter what the outcome for the relationship.

We provide services for children, adolescents, adults, couples, families, & groups in need of coping skills to better manage mental & emotional distress caused by life transitions, crises, mental & emotional illness, & past/current traumatic experiences. We also provide care & treatment for those suffering from the effects of various mental health concerns.
