I work with adults and adolescents struggling with Anorexia, Bulimia, Binge Eating, ARFID (Selective Eating), and the coexisting mental health struggles that go with them. Achieving recovery is absolutely possible and with over a decade of experience my core work surrounds the belief that no one should ever have to struggle with constant worry and feelings of shame.. When it feels like others just "don't get it,” change it up. When empathy comes with strength often new understanding can develop. If you're seeking an approach steeped in possibility, give me a call.

Willingness is the ability to accept one's circumstances and make the most of them, even when you wish things were different. The part I can play in guiding a patient to be more willing, allows a pt to move beyond the adversity of their circumstances. My goal is to EMPOWER patients and EQUIP them with the necessary tools to improve their quality of life. I provide therapy to individuals ages 18 and above and family therapy.

I appreciate the uniqueness of every individual and situation and can adapt my approach to what will be most effective in treating the underlying issue causing distress. I am passionate and enthusiastic about helping clients to move out of what isn't working for them and empower them to reach their goals. I love watching clients learn skills to help them move out of depression and anxiety to higher levels of functioning. I especially enjoy working with couples in distress and help them get to a place where their relationship is a source of comfort rather than stress.

Hi, I'm Amy! Therapy is a space to confront what is not working while supporting your strengths. I work with adults and teens who are looking to improve their wellness, manage emotions, develop self-esteem, improve communication, and cope with stress. Together, we will help you respond rather than react. I am also a Certified Perinatal Mental Health Therapist (PMH-C) and have a particular interest in working with clients facing fertility challenges, pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum, and infant parenthood. Overall, my goal is for therapy to provide a place where you feel understood and capable.

I also have special interests in treating bereavement, perinatal anxiety and mood disorders, including postpartum depression.

Like all therapists, I'm not for everyone. I don't fit the stereotypical image, walk to the beat of a different drum, maybe like yourself. I try to offer a balance of strength and compassion. I don't want to be solely soft and safe, nor exclusively forceful and aggressive. The art is in finding that balance and offering you that unique mix. You'll probably be divulging some pieces of yourself that are raw and weighty and maybe even a bit scary. This can be difficult, I know, I was a client before I was ever a therapist.

Regardless of whether a specific trauma or event leads you to therapy, our work together will focus on who you are in your various environments and relationships, how your personal circumstances led you here, and how you can achieve the future you envision.

Life is ever-changing and constantly throwing us curveballs - some good, some tough. However, we do not have to let the negative experiences that come our way define us or our lives. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) accepting new patients who want to begin their journey of understanding how to accept current life challenges and who are interested in learning how to more effectively cope in their lives.

People seek therapy for a variety of reasons. Some seek personal growth or are struggling with addictions, depression, anxiety or relationship issues etc. People are individuals who respond in their own particular way to therapy. I work collaboratively with my clients and utilize various therapy techniques depending on their needs. One of the most important factors in therapy is having a positive therapeutic relationship where trust can be formed and the person feels validated.

Life is complicated, demanding, full of uncertainty - it can be overwhelming. It can be difficult to feel fulfilled, to focus on daily tasks, to have a sense of purpose or meaning, to feel motivated or to have hope. Therapy can help you reduce uncertainty, manage stress, address demands, overcome obstacles, and recognize your strengths. Therapy can also help you learn how to use different aspects of your life as resources. We will work together to help you feel empowered and confident. You will gain focus and serenity as you learn how to manage life's challenges, move toward self-acceptance and gain a sense of purpose and meaning.
