Amy is an empathetic, professional, insightful, and caring therapist. She puts you at ease with how you are feeling because she doesn't judge or push you to feel a certain way. She meets me where I am, regardless of what that means at any given time and helps me find healthier coping mechanisms & challenge negative thoughts. I feel hopeful again, with her as my therapist

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Amy is the best. She has helped me in a journey over the last year + that has resulted in me being in the best mental space of my adult life.
This is my first time ever going to therapy. When I talk to overs and my experience with it, they are shocked. They have all siad it took years to find a therapist that helped them the way Amy helped me. I could not have asked for a better therapist.
Amy has been an absolute joy and great match in my mental healing journey. Very grateful for her honesty, humor, and knowledge.
Amy is great!
