Hi there, I'm Amy!

I specialize in helping folks get unstuck in life by helping them discover where and how to obtain freedom. My areas of focus are anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, couples, and faith-based counseling.

My focus

My background includes working with women who have lost themselves along the way and dealing with feelings of overwhelm and insignificance. I love helping women reframe their narrative of past trauma to move them from victim to victory.

My approach

I have a faith-based approach and use CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, CPT, and ACT.

My communication style

I push when needed for my clients to succeed. I take a no-nonsense approach and create a safe tone for the healing that takes place.

My journey to mental healthcare

This profession chose me, but I did not choose it. I have been a listening ear and provider of helpful counsel all of my life. I have been privileged to make a career out of it.

My goals for you

I work with clients to establish and maintain effective goals that are logical and obtainable.

Our first session

The first session will be establishing expectations. An intake will be completed, and a collaborative approach to creating a treatment plan will be included as well.
