Your life is demanding, and you can never seem to get enough rest.
You’re tired of being tired.
HI, I'M AMY.
I work with caring, compassionate professionals who feel trapped.
You might feel like your only options are to grind harder, fake a smile until it feels real, quit your job, or leave your marriage.
There's another option: learning about the parts of you that think that grinding, faking it, quitting, or leaving will solve your problem.
When you understand what’s happening inside you, you won't feel so yanked around by your emotions. You won't be so overwhelmed and desperate that you'll do anything to feel better.
I'm not saying you won't ever quit your job. You might. But you might also find that you can feel energized, happy, calm, and fulfilled in your current situation. No extra grinding or faking required.
I can help you break out of the trap.
You probably spend your days focusing on everyone and everything other than yourself. Imagine allowing yourself 50 minutes every week where you can slow down and attend to you, and only you.
In our sessions, you don’t have to grind, put aside your needs, pretend everything’s ok, or please me. You can show up exactly as you are, and I will welcome you.
It might feel uncomfortable. That's ok. Noticing when you're performing and slowly learning to drop the mask is part of our work together. Therapy is your opportunity to do something different.
My Philosophy.
When you’re investing your time, money, and energy into therapy, you deserve a therapist who will nurture and challenge you.
If I think I’m seeing something that you’re missing, I will bring it to your attention, with curiosity, so that we can explore it together.
Like with every relationship, there will probably be a time when I upset you or miss the mark. My invitation to you is to tell me, so that I can get it right.
My commitment to you.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I have thousands of hours of education and experience, and I continually hone my skill. I have undergone extensive training in Internal Family Systems because- and you might be able to relate- my clients and my work matter to me.
I have sat (and continue to sit) on the client side of the couch. It helps me be a better person- for myself, my family, my clients, and the world. I know how hard (and scary) it is to let your guard down and invest in your growth. When you sit across from me, I’m not judging you. I already know you’re brave, because deciding to break the cycle takes courage.
