GET READY TO BLOSSOM!
I believe one of the bravest things you can do is better understand your story. Too often in life, we experience events that silence us making it hard to know where to turn. In my office I work hard to create and hold space for my clients rooted in empathy, compassion, and safety. No matter where you are in your journey, I believe everyone has the potential to find peace and live closer to their authentic beings.
I specialize in complex trauma, attachment wounding, nervous system dysregulation, adoption, military, dissociation, and anxiety. I use a variety of modalities such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and DBR (Deep Brain Reorienting); however, I bring a holistic approach to my work allowing me to be creative and attuned to each client.
There is so much courage in reaching out and I look forward to working with you.
welcome! I am so happy you are here!
I'm amy.
Hello!!
education
Outside of therapy I love working with other professionals and families to gain deeper insights on adoption. If you are wondering how you can grow your adoption competency or make your services more inclusive I would love to chat with you. I believe some of the best ways to advocate for adoptees and adoptee mental health is ensuring that not only are caregivers well versed in adoption competency but our communities as well.
Consultations
I offer pre and post adoption consultations for caregivers, professionals, and adult adoptees. In consultations I support clients through resource building, psychoeducation, and empowerment. I help those touched by the experience of adoption understand nuances specific to this population.
individual therapy
Whether struggling with anxiety, depression, overcoming past traumas, or needing a safe place to process transitions; therapy can serve as an empowering tool. Therapy encourages one to get clarity while building new skills to cope and regulate overwhelming emotions. In our sessions, I will pull from a variety of modalities such as EMDR, DBR, Structural Dissociation, and Somatic work. Currently accepting teens and adults both in person or online.

Children's Book
"Being Adopted"
Britany S, Adoptive Mama
"Factual and clear, this book provides clear support and acceptance for a wide range of situations and families. No child will be left out of this narrative, Amy includes them all! Your adopted child will close this book feeling seen, heard, and worthy. "
"amy really captured the mixed feelings adoptees feel when thinking about their identity and their story. i wish my parents had access to a book like this while i was growing up. this book is an incredible resource for adoptive families and children, it will help assist conversations and reflections needed for healthy adoptive family development.
- Jaclyn S., LCSW, Transracial Adoptee
"I read this book through multiple lenses; that of a transracially adopted person, a parent, and a therapist that focuses on adoptive families. i wish i had it as a child.This is the most honest, diverse, and inclusive book i've come across. it names the complex feelings that many little adoptees feel but cannot name. representation matters in what our children see, absorb, and experience. this is a must read for all children and families.
