About Amy
Amy describes therapy as a partnership. Clients bring their story and she helps them explore changes they want to make in themselves and in how their story is lived. Sessions aim to be respectful, nonjudgmental, and practical so people can find manageable steps forward.
She uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy pays attention to feelings and connection in close relationships. Client-Centered and Narrative work emphasize the client’s voice and the meanings they give to life events.
Amy draws on life experience as well as professional practice to support people through transitions like parenting, career shifts, divorce, aging, and grief. She also addresses concerns such as self-esteem, anger, obsessions and compulsions, phobias, and social anxiety.
Her sessions are conversational and focused on practical change. Over time she helps people notice patterns, try new behaviors, and reframe parts of their story so they can live in line with what matters to them.
How therapeutic approaches guide online care
Amy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thought and behavior patterns that contribute to stress, anxiety, or low mood. CBT often involves setting small goals and trying practical experiments between sessions to test new ways of coping.She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at feelings and relationship patterns that affect closeness and safety with partners or loved ones. EFT helps name emotions and practice new ways of responding that improve connection.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful, and then shape sessions to fit those needs. This is a collaborative process and can shift over time as concerns change.
Because the biography does not list specific online formats, confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins on a work break, or offering alternatives when in-person visits are difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt these therapies to brief or regular session lengths so progress continues even with a busy schedule.
