In sessions she blends several therapy styles to meet a client's needs. Amy uses client-centered work to follow each person's priorities. She uses motivational interviewing to spark and sustain change when someone feels stuck. She also brings psychodynamic and existential ideas when exploring deeper patterns and meaning.
Practical skills and short-term goals are part of the work, with room to look at long-standing patterns when helpful.
