About Amy
She frames clients as the experts of their own stories and looks for existing strengths to build on. Sessions are aimed at steady progress rather than quick fixes. Amy also helps people facing compassion fatigue and life changes tied to pregnancy, postpartum, adoption, and foster care.
Her work integrates acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavioral tools, and mindfulness practices. That mix gives clients concrete skills for managing distress and making choices that match their values. Amy uses short, clear exercises that can be practiced between sessions.
With four years of clinical therapy experience and additional decades of helping people in related roles, she brings both practical know-how and a calm presence. People often come for help with grief and end-of-life matters and leave with clearer ways to cope and make decisions. Amy offers a steady, respectful space for people taking difficult steps toward change.
To begin, she encourages an honest look at what matters most and then works with each person to build doable habits. The focus is on small, sustainable changes that fit daily life and personal goals.

Therapeutic approaches that fit everyday life
Amy draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness practices to help people manage distress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small, value-based actions even when feelings are difficult. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and uses practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and increase calm.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Amy works collaboratively to match methods to each person's goals and preferences. She will discuss options, test what helps, and adjust the plan as needed so the work fits day-to-day life.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since specific session formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to keep appointments around work, childcare, and other obligations. It also lets people use shorter check-ins on busy days or choose methods that do not require video when that is more convenient. Talk with the therapist about scheduling and format preferences to find an arrangement that fits your routine and needs.
