You are enough. Your life is worth living. People love you deeply. Your existence is, itself, a wonder. A miracle you’re even here speaking to whomever you’re speaking to, hurting however you’re hurting, laughing over whatever. You series of unlikely events. You star-hearted little fiend. You’ve made a mess of everything. That’s part of being alive. Now we will fix it. Which is also part of being alive. You’re doing just fine.

Amy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who earned her master’s in counseling from Northwestern University. She completed her internship at Midwest Recovery and Wellness in Michigan, where she worked with adults and adolescents with acute and/or chronic mental health issues. Amy entered the mental health field as a “career jumper.” She has a bachelor’s in creative writing and a master’s in literary studies followed by nearly a decade of experience as a senior copywriter and brand developer.

Amy believes that having a more expansive understanding of our problems can help reduce shame and increase motivation necessary for change to occur. Whether you’re struggling with life transitions, big feelings, avoidance, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or negative thought patterns, Amy's goal is to empower you to notice and compassionately respond to signs of diminished mental health so you can feel confident in your ability to survive hardships and get on to thriving. 

Individuals working with Amy can expect her to ask about the cultures, relationships, and experiences that have shaped their lives in conscious and unconscious ways. Working with Amy might look like learning to make space for the ways in which your experiences have shaped you. It might also look like learning how our minds and bodies receive and respond to our experiences.

Amy’s own experiences as a client in psychotherapy have helped her to cope with a complicated personal loss, manage the anxiety of becoming a licensed foster and eventual adoptive parent, keep perfectionism at bay, and establish healthier routines.

Amy resides with her husband, son, two dogs, and two cats. Outside of sessions, Amy enjoys being with family, reading, playing music, marveling at the existence of dogs, and dabbling in the kitchen.
