About Amy
She brings seven years of clinical experience across schools, hospitals, group homes, private mental health agencies, and child protective services. That range means she is used to working with different life situations and practical problems. Her background includes work with veterans facing depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, medical issues, and military sexual trauma.
Amy describes her style as compassionate, energetic, and goal-focused. She prefers to tailor her approach to each person rather than using one fixed method. Sessions often focus on building strengths, setting achievable goals, and practicing concrete skills that fit daily life.
Her methods draw on client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. Those approaches are used to help people notice patterns, try new responses, and stay motivated through change.
People who reach out can expect a collaborative relationship that emphasizes practical steps. Amy encourages clients to define clear goals and measures of progress. She aims to support people as they make steady, manageable changes toward better functioning and wellbeing.

How Amy’s Approaches Work Online
Amy uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques in her practice. Client-centered work focuses on listening, understanding each person’s priorities, and shaping sessions around what matters most to the client. Cognitive behavioral techniques help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to change how they feel and function.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work together with clients to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration helps tailor sessions to real life and keeps the plan flexible as needs change.
Please confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not possible. It also supports continuity of care when schedules or locations change, while still focusing on the same practical skills and goals used in her in-person work.
