We could hear our 17 year old son talking quite a bit throughout the session which makes us very happy. We couldn't make out what he was saying but we are thrilled that he's able to open up and keep a conversation going for these sessions. Thank you for being so amazing. We are extremely pleased so far.

I am deeply passionate about helping children, adolescents, and young adults navigate life's challenges. While I take my clients and their experiences very seriously, I don't believe every session has to feel heavy. When it feels appropriate, I enjoy using humor to help clients feel more at ease and remind them that healing can include moments of lightness. I strive to create a warm, genuine, and supportive environment where clients feel heard, accepted, and empowered to make meaningful changes.

It was really good to be able to have both parents available but also able to step away at the appropriate times. I feel that each person was able to voice concerns and hopes for the future.

My son was nervous before his first session. After it concluded, he came out of his room, sat down, took a deep breath, looked at my husband and I and said “I absolutely loved that”. We’re thrilled he found it comfortable because of Amy and he’s looking forward to his next session.
