She understands that seeking therapy is a difficult decision and is passionate about being an encouraging support to individuals and families embarking on this journey. Her approach to therapy is warm, energetic, and empowering. She enjoys working with individuals of all genders and ages, though particularly excels in her work with older adolescents and young adults as they navigate the more transitional stages of life. Amy uses a person-centered approach to therapy that allows her clients to be their own experts, and to use their own understanding of their experiences as a baseline for their healing. She also integrates relational therapy techniques, supporting clients in building their sense of self and autonomy, while also developing patience with and trust in their relationships with others.
