Professional statement

Amy works with adults of all ages, helping them navigate life transitions, identity development, anxiety, depression, and grief/loss. She has worked with individuals with a wide range of identities while prioritizing the needs of those with barriers to accessing support, including BIPOC, LGBTQAI+, and TGNC individuals, the disabled and chronically ill, single mothers, immigrant and first generation college students, and trauma victims/survivors. Her clinical style is open-hearted, collaborative, and grounded in mind/body safety, drawing from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), somatic practices, and mindfulness-based approaches.

Amy enjoys hiking, snowshoeing, reading (especially memoirs), getting better at pickleball, playing word games (Scrabble is her fave), and being bossed around by her three cats.

Message to clients

I became a therapist because I've learned for myself how important it is to have someone I trust to hold space for me to process difficult or 'sticky' emotions. I want to help provide the same for you - to foster a feeling of safety and to help set the stage for your emotional healing, physical healing, and personal growth. I am authentic, compassionate, and resourceful. While we'll dig into the serious stuff for sure, my hope is to also help you find or relocate your joy.
