About Amy
Amy uses an integrative, mind-body approach that looks at patterns in daily life. She invites clients to notice what keeps them stuck and to try small changes that add up. Sessions are collaborative and straightforward, with concrete tools for emotion regulation, communication, and coping with pain or illness.
Her background includes two Master of Science degrees in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Holistic Nutrition and Herbalism, plus a Bachelor of Arts in Education. Before counseling, she spent over 25 years teaching grades 1–8 and more than ten years training faculty and family systems in Waldorf methods. That experience shapes how she explains ideas and guides families.
Amy combines practical skills from mindfulness, yoga-informed practices, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with perspectives from attachment work and internal family systems ideas. She works with adults, teenagers, and children and adapts techniques to each person’s situation.
People who need help balancing caregiving duties, managing chronic conditions, or navigating relationship shifts often find her approach useful. To begin, follow the site’s Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire to schedule with her.

How her approaches translate to online care
Amy draws on evidence-based techniques that connect thoughts, feelings, and actions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters and take values-based steps, often useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Internal family systems ideas are used to identify and talk with different parts of the self, which can help with trauma responses, dissociation, and patterns like avoidance.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust strategies over time so they feel helpful and realistic.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports continuity of care for those managing chronic health issues or caregiving duties. Licensed professionals can adapt mindfulness exercises, behavioral tasks, and communication coaching to remote sessions, and Amy will tailor those tools to your situation.
