Meet Amy

My goal in therapy is to attune to you when you are trying to make sense of identity, relationships, or life structures that no longer fit.

A lot of the people I work with are in transition, but not always in obvious ways.

Sometimes there has been a breakup, a loss, a diagnosis, a move, or a change in identity or belief. Other times nothing externally has changed, but internally something has started to shift and it’s hard to explain to anyone else.

What tends to bring people into therapy with me is not a single issue, but the experience of being split in some way.

Part of them is functioning, performing, or holding things together. Another part is questioning what they are doing, what it is costing them, or whether they can keep living in the same way.

In our work, I pay attention to that split.

Not as a problem to fix, but as something to understand. How you learned to organize yourself. What you do to stay connected, stay safe, stay competent, stay acceptable. And what becomes visible when those strategies are no longer the only way you have to be.

We slow things down so your experience is not something you only notice after the fact.

My work is relational and somatic. That means we track what is happening between us, what is happening in your body, and what meaning you are making of your life as we go. We may move between present patterns, earlier experiences, and emotional or bodily responses depending on the session.

This work is often about contact with your self: re-establishing it or establishing it for the first time.
