About
The most authentic thing about us is our capacity to create, to overcome, to endure, to transform, to love, and to be greater than our suffering (-Ben Okri). Hello, I'm Amy, a clinical social worker with over 20 years experience in various settings; I have worked with people of all ages and through various hardships such as relational problems, parental challenges, grief, depression, anxiety, and chronic illness. Further, as a cancer survivor, I am purpose-driven to provide mental health services to survivors and their caregivers/families. Therapy is hard work. I appreciate that the struggles are real and that progress is not linear. I meet people where they are in their lives to support changes they wish to make. I use various approaches to treatment based on your needs including psychodynamic understanding, CBT/DBT/ACT, & mindset work. In addition, I am solution-focused and strengths-based.
