About me

Thank you for being here and for visiting my profile. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C) in the state's of Maryland, Arizona and Massachusetts . I earned my Master of Social Work (MSW) degree from the University of Maryland School of Social Work. I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of Albany, New York in Psychology with a minor in Sociology. I have 9 years of experience in a non-public special education setting as a social worker and 10 years of experience working with young adults with disabilities.

I'm particularly knowledgeable about assisting adolescents and young adults who struggle with developmental and intellectual disabilities especially autism as well as health conditions and illness, grief and loss, bereavement issues, school/peer/bullying issues, trauma, abuse, depression and anxiety. I enjoy working with teens from diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds.

I often incorporate a holistic, integrative approach meaning that I draw from multiple modalities including cognitive behavioral, trauma-informed and strengths-based. From my viewpoint as a clinician, human functioning and behavior stem from many life experiences and aspects of our lives: psychological, cognitive biological/physical/medical, genetic, developmental, familial, social, educational/employment/career, spiritual, cultural and societal.

In addition to my employment, I've volunteered as a girl scout troop leader for 13 years as well as taken on an active role in youth mission trips and leadership roles within my church.

My co-workers describe me as hard working, collaborative, compassionate, empathetic and the desire to go above and beyond for the students and families that I work with.

Written on Apr 27, 2021 after therapy with Amy for 7 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, eating disorders, sleeping disorders, self esteem, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and adhd

Amy has been monumental in my quest to address my mental health. She is always ready to listen and offers great insight into every situation. I have been in and out of therapy for a long time and my time with her has been the most productive!

I recommend Amy to anyone who is dealing with PTSD, Anxiety, and Trauma. Her approach is gentle and empathic. She wants to help you to understand what is happening rather than rushing you to milestones. She creates a safe and accepting space to support working on your processes and rethink your current approaches. She achieves this while making you feel sane.

The support from Amy has allowed me to grow in so many ways and help me cope with my anxiety. I hope to continue our patient and therapist relationship long-term.
