About Amy
Amy has focused her work with a range of populations, most notably adoptive and birth parents, adoptees, youth at risk, and adolescents and adults facing demanding academic or career paths. She supports people who seek greater balance, more meaningful relationships, or relief from grief, loss, or trauma. Her practice addresses stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, self-esteem and body image issues, depression, LGBT and gender dysphoria matters, trauma and abuse, ADHD, caregiver strain, and transitions such as fertility or adoption-related struggles.
Her approach is client-centered and goal-oriented; she meets people where they are and treats each person as the expert on their own life. Amy integrates talk-based work and somatic methods, drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and mindfulness practices to tailor sessions to each person’s needs, values, and comfort level. Sessions are individualized to support practical steps toward the goals clients bring to therapy.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and commit to actions that align with what matters most, even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise; it is useful for managing anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce distress and improve functioning, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy cultivates present-moment awareness through simple practices that reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation, often aiding those coping with grief, trauma symptoms, or chronic stress.
Amy approaches treatment collaboratively, recognizing that finding the right fit is part of the therapeutic process. She works with each person to determine which approach or combination of approaches best matches their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds.
Online therapy with Amy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from different locations, maintain continuity during life changes, and choose the format that supports consistent progress toward therapeutic goals.
