I work with Families & Individuals in a solution-focused, person centered manner to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. I've used creative modalities in my work including music, art, movement, and adventure therapies to strengthen my approach to assisting individuals with "breakthrough moments", and overall improved mental health and wellness. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

Amy has tremendously helped me more than my psychiatric encounter. She listens very closely to everything I say and she responds skillfully and her inputs are very insightful and life changing when applied. 5/5 I would recommend.

She listens and respects/understands how a culture different from hers may impact the patient’s experiences and ability to handle their problems. She’s very respectful and offers great insight and advice
