People come to Amy for help with stressful life changes, relationship and intimacy struggles, eating and body-image concerns, and parenting stress.

Amy pays attention to how attachment history, adoption or foster care experiences, and communication patterns affect day-to-day life. Her style is collaborative and direct. Amy listens first, then offers tools and coaching tailored to each person’s goals.
She treats clients as the experts in their own lives while providing structure and accountability where it helps.

Online support
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Amy uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT sessions online often involve setting small goals and practicing skills between meetings to reduce anxiety and change behavior patterns.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify values and build actions that fit those values even when feelings are difficult. ACT is useful for stress, grief, and coping with ongoing life challenges because it focuses on what matters and on workable steps forward.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amy will talk about which methods fit a person’s goals, preferences, and situation and will adjust the plan over time. The process is collaborative and paced to the individual’s needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for more in-depth sessions that benefit from face-to-face interaction. Phone work can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when clients prefer not to be on camera. Live chat or text sessions are helpful for short check-ins, coaching-style support, and quick skill practice between longer sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for different schedules and needs.
