I am licensed as a Clinical Social Worker in Illinois and Missouri, with 24 years of professional psychotherapy experience with adults, adolescents and children, in individual and group settings. I obtained my Masters in Social Work from Indiana University. I have expertise in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with grief and loss, depression, cancer/life threatening illness, and other major life changes in relationships and work.
I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I use a variety of therapeutic approaches, including psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral therapy, interpersonal, and solution focused therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

I have had many therapists in my life and I have not had a therapist before Amy who I felt I could open up to this much. She is very kind, patient, and supportive. She is a good listener and I don’t feel I have as many of these long awkward silences I would have with other therapists that would make me uncomfortable. She had been great for me and I would highly recommend her!

Amy is intuitive, kind, intelligent and responsive. I can not imagine a better therapist. It is hard to express in words how much she has helped me, but I feel that I am no longer at the mercy of my emotions and / or depression. She has taught me the tools to help myself and be kind to myself and work through those "dark nights of the soul." Plus, if I am having trouble, she is always there for me, always available to talk / text.
