I am a professional characterized by her humanism and vocation for service who firmly believes that the good life is a process, not a state of being, it is a direction, not a destination. Therapy is a path to self-knowledge. Therapy helps to redefine problems and see them as opportunities, learning. You need to be brave to enter the path of therapy, you need commitment and willingness, only then will you see results.

Hi. I'm Jessica. I help spiritually-driven people get unstuck, heal on a deeper level and live more authentic lives. Together, we'll move beyond trendy (and often bypassing) techniques and create lasting, more meaningful changes in your life. My approach is holistic and wellness based which means I understand that all those patterns that may be currently keeping you from stepping into your next best Self/life served a purpose at one point in time - you won't find any judgment here. I customize your care to your specific needs to help you connect with your innate ability to heal. In our sessions, I blend compassion, some humor and a few f-bombs with holding you accountable and calling you in to cultivate the healing you deserve.

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?

Have you had enough yet? I can help you identify ways to improve your confidence as you struggle through coping with family, career, anxiety, depression, or identity issues. I have worked in teens and adults in three different states over the past 30 years. Identifying small steps to take in order to achieve larger goals, identifying what is important to focus on today versus letting go of the past or waiting until the future are also areas I can assist. I believe the only way to truly achieve change is through consistent small steps overtime. I am a LMHC, wife, stepmom, mother-in-law, sister, daughter, friend, supervisor, and Beagle mom. I could be your next therapist, that choice is up to you.
