About me
Hi there!
Congratulations on taking action for your self-care. I've always known that I wanted to work with people to help navigate the challenges of Life, and have been successfully doing so for over 3 decades with literally thousands of Clients. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) for nearly 30 years. I enjoy helping others learn to help themselves; there's nothing more empowering. I believe everyone has the right to be treated with dignity, respect and acceptance, and interact with others accordingly.
I highly value creating a therapeutic alliance with my Clients to create an effective plan of action and would welcome the opportunity to do so with you.
Amy

Amy is a wonderful therapist and has changed my quality of life in a short time. She has provided me tools that I didn’t even know I needed. I have an undergraduate degree in psychology so I always felt like I knew tips and tricks to improve my well being. Well, when you have a therapist like Amy, it is like having someone who gives you a key that unlock a whole new box of answers. She truly is amazing, a great listener, and so kind. When I talk to her, I feel like I’m talking to a friend.

Three sessions in and so far so good.
Amy is a resourceful and empathetic professional with a lot of experience.
I enjoy working with her.

Helps me get to the true root of my problems, taking things a few steps deeper than previous therapy work. I'm confident in her ability to guide me through the process of understanding certain behaviors, re-aligning the parts of me that do not serve me in their current roles, and learning to navigate extreme life stressors. I'm also confident the results will be long-lasting.
