I've been seeing Amy for well over a year now I think & she is fantastic! She mentioned once how, no matter how often we get sidetracked, she makes sure that it always helps me. I appreciate that because I tend to get distracted easily and enjoy those side conversations. I thought that just spoke so much to how much she cares about her clients that she's more focused on how we spend our time productively than I am :) Highly recommend her!

More about Amy

Welcome. I hope you find insight here!

As a licensed psychotherapist & clinical supervisor, I value a holistic understanding of integrative medicine. After more than 15 years as a treatment provider, this context relies on evidence, research, and specialized training. With all medical standards met, formal practice is applied through the trusted clinical intuition of a healer.

With gratitude, I invite you to explore more details of my treatment approach & scope of practice below:

If you prefer direct commentary from clients, please skip to my reviews! They are 100% voluntary as feedback is essential to my approach.

With a board certification as a clinical supervisor, I prioritize lifelong pursuit of education & research. I believe transparency & accountability are the foundation most productive long term change.

My lifelong passion of counseling psychology, intertwined with formalized education helped accomplish necessary advanced training. Trusted clinical intuition & self-discovery through experience have resulted in what I believe to be my fundamental purpose as a healer.

In addition, my devotion to motherhood, commitment to faith and my belief in the power of recovery-have combined to extend an already strong intuition. I believe these result in my divine purpose.

I am grateful & overjoyed to celebrate ten years of sobriety in November of 2024. I believe my recovery improves my ability to help those suffering in active addiction. My personal background in recovery, is essential as I help individuals locate their chosen path to healing.

Most clients naturally gravitate to my intentional transparency as I strive to extend grace. Helping clients focus on their own self-discovery is a journey of partnership, that involves a gentle balance. As a practitioner, I prefer my experience being separate & secondary to the needs of my clients.

Many years ago, I discovered my dream to formalize leadership of therapists through licensure. This intensified my own love & commitment to the field of counseling psychology. I am honored to mentor clinicians through my role as a clinical supervisor, as they practice therapy using my license while finalizing their own licensure certification.

My partnership with Betterhelp allows me to use a collaborative approach as an independent practitioner. I contract with more than one organization, allowing variety and flexibility - where I choose to have small caseloads. This allows me the ability to commit to individual needs & the well-being of each client I have preselected. A process I am able to customize and ensure therapeutic trust & mutual respect.

Most notable feedback from former clients:

I am attentive, nurturing, flexible, knowledgeable and direct in my communication. I find that my ability to provide authenticity is fundamental to my identity as a human being, just as transparency underlies all healthy attachment in relationships.

My theoretical style has evolved over many years of formal practice & training. I continue to seek most proficient training available, and hold special skill using these techniques:

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness & Internal Family Systems. Solution-focused CBT, TF-CBT.

Only trauma-informed skills are used as I continue to absorb all opportunities to embrace current understanding in trauma-specific techniques.

With specialized understanding in trauma recovery, I believe that we all have the ability to heal. Only you hold the power to transform your life. This directly requires accountability, openness and honesty. Responsibility for your healing is fundamental to this process. My role in this partnership is equal to the value of client effort! I provide support, validation and accountability, just as I enforce and practice boundaries.

All of these fundamentals-when used appropriately, provide the groundwork BEST for healing.

My faith adds a necessary layer of unique impartiality to my role. This detail is important to acknowledge as my spiritual beliefs overlap with a special awareness that I believe transcends the collective, mind, body and soul.

Using a structure of standard practice with most appropriate evidence-based techniques, only licensed psychotherapists possess the exclusive legal responsibility and ethical liability to provide safe, legitimate mental healthcare. Verifiable benefit is statistically shown in treatment with a licensed practitioner.

My ultimate priority as a licensed psychotherapist is to provide the emotional safety that ensures healing.

I am verified by Psychology Today, a member of the National Counseling Association & several others.

I believe that NO obstacle is superior against the profound strength of human connection & willpower! An OPEN heart should always be the ONLY requirement for treatment.

Thank you for the time you've chosen to spend with my words. I hope you've found insight in details shared here.

Please feel free to join my wait list today!

Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Amy is so helpful. I've been seeing her more than a year now & has helped me grow this whole time. She's friendly and seems to know exactly how to say what she needs to say in order to help you live up to your greatest potential. I also love that she tells me to talk to her about things she may do that I dislike or don't find helpful. It makes it feel like she cares about my thoughts & what's going on with me. I can't describe how positive my experience with Amy has been, but I guess the best way to describe it is that I've made more progress with her in one year than with my last psychologist in over 12 years.
