About Amy
Amy's background includes direct mental health care, outpatient therapy, intensive in-home work for at-risk youth, and substance abuse counseling. She holds a master's degree in social work with a concentration on children and families and a bachelor's degree in psychology. Her clinical work has included substance abuse groups and individual counseling as well as work in child welfare settings.
Her style is interactive and collaborative. Sessions focus on meeting people where they are and building practical steps toward each person's goals. She draws on a mix of approaches and adapts them to the situation rather than using a single method for everyone.
Common topics she addresses include body image, communication problems, control issues, family difficulties, guilt and shame, isolation, life purpose, mood and panic symptoms, obsessive thoughts and compulsions, and eating or substance-related issues. She also has experience supporting people facing gender dysphoria and other LGBTQ concerns.
Amy typically checks messages multiple times a day and aims to respond promptly while balancing other responsibilities. To begin working together, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a session according to therapist availability.
