About
Hi there, I'm Amy! I'm here because I have a passion for helping individuals navigate life's challenges. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and Spanish from Vanderbilt University and a Master's in Social Work from Tulane University. When I'm not in session, you'll find me on my large farm surrounded by many animals! I'm married and the proud parent of two teenagers, so I know a thing or two about balancing life's joys and chaos. I partner with clients to set clear, achievable goals and use CBT to address negative thought patterns and behaviors that may be holding them back. With Solution-Focused techniques, I guide clients to identify their strengths and develop practical strategies to move forward. My communication style is warm, direct, and compassionate. I listen actively and ask thoughtful questions to understand your experiences deeply. I strive to create an open, conversational environment where you feel comfortable sharing while receiving clear, practical feedback. Specialties: I work with adults navigating life transitions, stress, anxiety, depression, or relationship challenges. My background in psychology and social work allows me to connect with diverse clients. I'm committed to tailoring my approach to meet each client's unique needs and cultural background. Credentials & Experience: I bring warmth, empathy, and a practical approach to therapy. My approach to therapy is collaborative and evidence-based, primarily using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT). My care is rooted in creating a safe, non-judgmental space.
