More about Amy

  • 10 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCMHC, LMHC

Hello, thank you for taking the time and to learn a bit more about me. I am a seasoned clinician with 15 years of experience in the field of mental health services. I finished graduate school, (2005), becoming dually licensed in 2009, (LADC), and 2011,(LCMHC), respectively. I've worked with individuals and families facing a variety challenges such as depression and anxiety, terminal illness, unemployment, trauma and abuse, addictions of all kinds, communication failure, loss in relationships, and parenting concerns.

My counseling style is interactive and playful. I love hearing your story. It is the favorite part of my work.

My experience has taught me that the most important predictor of your success, and maintaining it are two-fold. 1.) The connection you and I develop as the person you chose to support you. Do you feel accepted for who you are? And do you feel I understand you? As we unravel your challenges do you feel comforted, clarified, and incrementally challenged to grow? If the answer is yes, the cumulative nature of my positive support, our mutual observations, discussing, (and meeting bumps in the road), will allow incremental challenges to give you traction, expanding your self-esteem, generating your success. 2.) Keeping track of what's happened; beginning, middle and end.

You are welcome to message me anytime through Better Help. The frequency with which you can have access to a counselor to work through day to day emotions and problem solving is extremely beneficial for most and a nice change from traditional outpatient counseling. I usually check messages twice each day, seven days per week. I offer messaging, live chat and phone sessions with limited availability in the evenings and weekends. Please note that what you see in my calendar may not reflect my only availability so you always want to check that out with me through messaging first.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Amy has helped me grow tremendously. She is easy to talk to, listens, and responds with specific feedback to whatever we discuss. She’s accommodating and works with my schedule, even though I’m 8 hours ahead. Sometimes I’ll have so much on my mind that I can’t even think straight, but after talking to her I feel more at ease. Amy is by far the best therapist I have ever had.

Reviewed November 2020

She’s just phenomenal. A guiding force and someone to hold me accountable and move forward with making like changes.

Reviewed September 2020

Amy is a very down to earth and straight forward person and therapist. I appreciate her direct approach as it gives me clarity and real time answers without long drawn out conversations because that is my preference. She has amazing insight during our time together and gives me feedback and things I can implement immediately and long-term.

Reviewed September 2020

Chatting with Amy is like conversing with an old friend. She's non-judgmental, supportive & offers reasonable solutions. I could not have made it through the pandemic without her! I'm so grateful!

Reviewed August 2020

Amy is fantastic - she provides a very good balance of letting you dictate the pace of your journey, while providing the right guidance at the right time. She is very knowledgeable on the science but also has a deeper understanding of the way we are. Using those two tools together has really helped me understand myself much better in a way that appeals to how i learn. Would highly recommend Amy for anybody.

Reviewed July 2020

Amy is a warm and intelligent therapist, with a really good sense of humour that makes conversation engaging and amusing, as well as illuminating. I have enjoyed her relaxed style of counselling, and it has helped me to gain insight into areas of my life that had previously overwhelmed me. Amy is supportive and direct, and I've really enjoyed working with her.

Reviewed July 2020

She is amazing and "to the point". I am suprised with the fact of how much value I recieved from just 2-3 sessions by Amy. I would totally recommend.

Amy is an excellent therapist. She is an excellent listener, question asker, and draws on personal stories and technically sound expertise. Our conversations provide the support I need to increase my sense of safety, feel understood and manage life’s challenges. Thoughtful, funny, and articulate, she’s is someone I’d recommend to anyone trying therapy for the first time or looking for a new therapist.
