I have extensive experience with individual therapy, working for substance use treatment centers, and working at various psychiatric hospitals. I have worked in roles including Behavioral Health Tech, Case Management, Primary Therapist, and Clinical Supervisor. I have worked with age groups ranging from young children to geriatrics. I prefer to work with adults of all ages with all types of substance use histories/mental health issues. I firmly believe that in order to help someone, you have to understand them. In order to understand someone, you require personal life experience to truly understand where they are coming from. I am very passionate about what I do. People have asked me previously if I enjoy what I do. I inform them that in my perspective, this is what I "designed" to be. There is no "taking off the therapy hat" for me - this is simply who I am and my purpose. You will learn very quickly how dedicated I am to serving people. I have I near eidetic memory and am well-versed in both DSM-IV and DSM-5 (the manuals used to diagnose someone). I have dedicated approximately 29 years of my life to this. Many clients throughout the years told me in their words that I am the "best therapist" they ever had. I encourage you to hire me and judge for yourself. I was entered into two international honor societies (top 15% of students in the field across the span of 8 countries with a flawless 4.0 GPA).

I think one of the most important parts of therapy is finding the right "fit". That relationship is key in helping grow, trust and meet any goals that you might have going into the therapeutic process. Let me give you a glimpse of who I am! I'm Amy, a LMHC, who has been in the counseling world for over 15 years and love what I get to do. I started my career in the community health sector which I learned so much and worked with diverse groups of people with an array of various needs. I have worked in school settings as well as in homes. I have been deep within the community in many of my roles along the way. I have developed many techniques along the way as not one intervention will work for everyone. Some of the modalities I use are EMDR, CBT, Motivational interviewing, solution-focused techniques as well as a combination of these. I meet people where they are, maybe having to learn how they are even feeling let alone how to cope with that feeling. Maybe we have a tool, but if no one ever took the time to teach us, then what good is that tool?

It is difficult to cope with situations, relationships, and our health when things do not go how we had planned. I believe counseling can help with life's challenges to find healthy ways to adapt. I work with adults in the areas of depression, anxiety, and bereavement. I enjoy helping clients build coping skills to deal with the stressors and conditions that impact their growth and happiness. My counseling approach is warm and inclusive, sprinkled with some humor, to help people work through the distress that we experience in life.

Hello. I am excited to guide you in taking your power back. If your life feels more challenging than it should, I can help you uncover and discover thoughts and behaviors that may be blocking you from living in the light so you can enjoy life to the fullest. Do you sometimes feel stuck with little to no options in dealing with challenging situations? Do you tend to react by fighting, fleeing, shutting down, or using mind-altering substances when you feel emotional distress? And soon after experience negative self-talk about the way you handled the situation? If you relate to this, I would love to teach you the reason humans tend to repeat patterns and explore alternative ways to find solutions.

Hi---Susan here.. I know that finding a therapist you connect with can be a challenge. Most people come to therapy because they are feeling frustrated and/or overwhelmed with anxiety about their life---that it isn't moving along in the way they would like. Developing a feeling of safety and trust is an important step in therapy. Listening attentively, I can help you get clearer about the issues that are bothering you . We can then work together. so that you can make decisions about your life that you feel good about. My current focuses are Life Transitions and Finding Your True Self. Life Transitions refers to any of the many transitions we all go through in life--from going to work or college, marriage, divorce, aging, loss. Soul therapy is an approach where the focus is on you coming back to your true or authentic self where you feel expansive in your life with peace and joy. Each client is unique and I focus on your concerns and desires through compassionate listening and curiosity. Happy to have a 15-minute complementary phone conversation about your situation and see if we are a good fit.
