Amy has been a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor for more than 15 years and is licensed in California and Idaho.
I love working with...
I enjoy working with teens, adults, couples and families. I specialize in PTSD/ Trauma (childhood, partner/domestic, military) and addiction. I am also skilled in working with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and relationship communication issues.
Some of my favorite approaches include...
I am a Certified EMDR Therapist that uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Focused, and Trauma-Informed methods. My philosophy relies on Empowerment, Existentialism, Mind-Body Connection, and developing independent strengths.
How I help...
I believe in a direct approach that helps find the root cause of the things bringing you to therapy. My sessions include honesty, humor, compassion, education, empowerment, and techniques that look at all aspects of your life to help you determine the need for internal and external change.
I believe...
...that therapy is about progress and not perfection. I work to help my clients develop an understanding of their past and how it influences their present. I believe that these methods allow for a better understanding of how to conquer your mental health and to live the life that you want.
What it's like in session with me
My sessions will challenge and support you so that you can see how therapy is a safe, open, and helpful place. I provide open and honest feedback through collaboration towards your goals.
