About me
I am licensed in Washington State and have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, coping with grief and loss, & depression. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment.
There are times in life when the challenges we face feel overwhelming and impossible to surmount. I see my job as an opportunity to help clients recognize their strengths and resources, focus their energy on the areas where they have some level of control or influence, and find greater peace within their lives.
Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

Amy has helped me through some of the toughest times of my life this year. When I was feeling overwhelmed by stress and uncertainty, she provided a safe place where I felt heard, understood, and supported.
Her kindness, compassion, and guidance have helped me navigate challenges that at times felt impossible. She has given me tools to manage stress, see things more clearly, and move forward with greater confidence.
I am truly grateful for Amy's support and care. She has made a meaningful difference in my life, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a therapist who genuinely cares.

Amy has been a wonderful therapist overall. She is very responsive, sympathetic, and encouraging, and she offers a safe open space to communicate in which I am comfortable and confident asking questions and bringing up topics and issues to discuss and find support for regarding family, kids, dealing with emotional challenges and adolescence, navigating times of loss and grieving (specifically in my case regarding a long loved family pet), mid-life issues, developing emotional intelligence, parenting, and finding emotional stability. I look forward to therapy sessions with her knowing that she can provide a level of support and understanding to any topics I bring to the table.

Amy is incredibly kind and thoughtful, yet provides very practical strategies to manage events in my daily life. She helped me halt some of my harsh self-talk thinking patterns in their tracks, and has helped me build the skills to navigate relationships better. I really appreciate her expertise!

She listens and validates my feelings tells me if I’m wrong or not very truthful and tells you how it is

I am SO GLAD I found Amy. She listens and helps me, step by step, thru each of my MANY life challenges. I never feel overwhelmed, judged or unheard. Being able to have someone that really listens to you is such a comfort.
