Hello! My name is Amaris, and I’m glad you’re here :) Do you ever feel like you’re carrying more than your share — emotionally, mentally, or relationally? Do you find yourself doubting your needs, overthinking decisions, or feeling responsible for everyone else’s wellbeing? Many women move through the world with expectations and pressures that shape how they show up. My work focuses on helping women understand the “why” behind their emotions and behaviors so they can move through life with more clarity, confidence, and self‑trust. Sometimes personal growth means recognizing that you’re either going to deal with your stuff, or your stuff is going to deal with you. Therapy is a powerful place to begin that process.

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Illinois and Oregon with six years of experience in the mental health field. I do live in Illinois. I take a holistic approach with my clients but also incorporate various therapy techniques based on their needs and expectations. I strongly value the mind-body connection. Healing can be messy and uncomfortable but also beautiful at the same time.
