Clients are welcomed with compassion and an open heart.

In that safe space, we can go deeper within ourselves

...to find the places that need healing.

​

Amy helps people expand their potential by creating a personal roadmap to their emotional health & wellbeing.  Listening, acknowledgement, & building trust are key ingredients to her approach.  Amy tunes into the client in each moment of every session to understand what they are experiencing to help them get their needs met. Attachment wounding seems to be a part of many people's childhoods and those experiences can be present now. Many times, reparenting occurs through the therapy process and results in a corrective experience, bringing peacefulness & healing...to feel whole again.
