About me

I have worked in the field of mental health and substance abuse for 29 where I have provided counseling. I have a private practice and half of my practice consists of clients age 13-19. I work with this clients on issues such as addictions, self esteem issues, depression, anxiety , eating disorders, family conflicts and other issues. I have found that when developing an honest, open relationship with these clients they tend to open up. I really enjoy working with this population and I hope you will give me an opportunity to help your teen.

I have only had one session so far, but I like Amy’s approach. She keeps me focused and doesn’t let me grovel. Then she pushes me along to more productive thought patterns.

Amy really hears me. Amy tried to understand me, and she successfully reached an understanding of my story and why I feel the ways I do. It only took a few sessions, and now I’m really working on myself in what feels like such an easy way. Amy is careful, caring, and puts a lot into perspective. A master of her craft! I am really grateful I was matched with Amy.
