About Amy

Background and approach

Sessions often include breathing and gentle movement techniques alongside conversation to address the whole person - body and mind. Her approach mixes mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral ideas with solution-focused planning and narrative work. That means paying attention to thoughts and reactions, finding small useful changes, and reshaping the stories people tell about themselves.

The goal is steady, doable progress rather than big overnight shifts. Amy also addresses related areas like communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, self-love, and women's issues. She emphasizes using strengths people already have while adding new ways to cope and connect.

Beginning therapy can feel hard. Amy aims to make the process straightforward and respectful. She helps people set practical goals, practice new skills between sessions, and keep moving toward feeling more confident and capable.

Online support

How Amy's methods translate to online therapy

Amy draws on mindfulness-based cognitive-behavioral ideas and solution-focused techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and take small, practical steps forward. Mindfulness-based cognitive-behavioral approaches involve learning how thoughts and body reactions affect mood, and practicing present-moment awareness to reduce stress and anxiety. Solution-focused work centers on setting clear, short-term goals and trying small changes that build momentum.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Amy will work with each person to identify goals, test what helps, and adjust techniques over time. Clients and therapist decide together whether to emphasize breath and movement practices, thought work, or goal-focused exercises based on progress and preference.

Online therapy offers flexibility for different needs. Video calls let the therapist and client see nonverbal cues and practice movement or breathing together. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or camera use isn't desired. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, quick skill reminders, or when someone needs to fit therapy into a busy day. These formats make it easier to continue work between sessions and fit therapy into real life.
