Amy believes that therapy should be a welcoming, inclusive space where all people feel seen, heard, and valued. Her core belief is that every person deserves the chance to live authentically and connect with others in meaningful ways. Amy feels most aligned in her work when she can create a space where clients feel safe enough to be fully themselves. She takes a natural, unstructured approach to therapy, allowing her clients’ lived experiences to guide the direction of their work together.
Amy enjoys integrating creative tools—like media, writing, and music—into therapy as a way to explore her clients’ inner worlds. Whether it’s a favorite TV show, a powerful song, or a meaningful book, she sees these as valuable entry points into deeper self-understanding. Most of all, Amy is passionate about meeting each person exactly where they are in their journey.
She works primarily with adult individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, OCD, and ADHD. Amy specializes in serving LGBTQ+ clients, offering inclusive, affirming, and culturally informed care. She has a particular interest in working with people who are new to therapy or who are seeking a fresh start after a previous therapy experience didn’t quite fit.
Amy completed the Rainbow Certificate: Level 1 program through SAIGE (Society for Sexual, Affectional, Intersex, and Gender Expansive Identities). This training focuses on affirming care, cultural humility, social justice, and ethical practice with LGBTQ+ individuals.
Amy uses authenticity, humor, and the therapeutic relationship to create a space where clients can show up as their full selves.
Amy offers therapy through telehealth, allowing clients to meet from a space that feels safe and familiar without the commute.
Amy is an Approved Clinical Supervisor (ACS) and has completed a 30-hour clinical supervision training course through George Fox University. She supports developing counselors through reflective, collaborative supervision.
In her free time, you can find Amy dreaming up her next travel destination; being in, on, or near water; spending time with her dog; and drinking a cup of coffee with a good book.
