Background and approach

Breath work and gentle movement from a yoga-informed approach are used when helpful to reduce tension and support emotion regulation. Narrative work helps people make sense of hard experiences and reshape unhelpful stories about themselves.
Amy pays attention to thoughts, behaviors, bodily reactions, and relationship patterns so clients understand how they react to stress. That understanding guides a customized plan of short- and long-term strategies. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals such as easing anxiety, improving self-esteem, or handling grief and life transitions.
Amy helps people build concrete skills they can use between sessions. She keeps language straightforward and focuses on what will change day to day. People come to Amy for help with communication problems, guilt and shame, forgiveness, and issues related to women's lives.
Her approach mixes evidence-based techniques with practical tools so clients can manage distress and move forward.
Approaches that translate well to online care

This approach helps with anxiety, stress, and low mood by teaching practical skills to interrupt stressful thought cycles.She also uses solution-focused techniques that aim for clear, short-term goals and actionable steps. Those sessions often center on what is working now and how to build small, concrete changes into daily life.
Amy integrates yoga-informed breathing and gentle movement to help manage physical tension and support emotional regulation. These strategies can be practiced during a video session or guided for use between meetings.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences and try methods that fit your life. Together you can adjust techniques and formats over time so the work stays relevant and useful.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules.
