I take a holistic approach to healing—mind, body, and spirit. With over 18 years of experience, I help individuals and couples navigate both immediate challenges and deeper, long-term healing.

Change can be daunting, and healing is often complex. Sometimes, therapy is about building practical tools for the present; other times, it’s about making peace with the past. I focus less on “why” and more on “what now?” and “how?”—guiding clients toward meaningful progress.

While talk therapy is valuable, true healing also involves listening to the nervous system. Trauma can linger in the body, even when we think we’ve moved on. If you’ve ever wondered, “Why does this still bother me?”, we can explore what your body is trying to tell you.

In addition to my own work with clients, I lead a group practice of skilled therapists who are also available to support you.

Hi! I’m Amy, and I’m glad you’re here. I specialize in helping individuals and couples heal from trauma, navigate life transitions, and process loss. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, or the lingering effects of relational or developmental trauma, I’m here to help you navigate these challenges with compassion and support. My approach is warm, non-judgmental, and collaborative. Together, we’ll work toward reclaiming your sense of aliveness, purpose, and connection.

I work primarily through two powerful therapeutic models: the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM) and Somatic Experiencing (SE). NARM helps uncover how relational trauma shapes your sense of self and relationships, guiding you to release outdated patterns and reconnect with your authentic self. SE, on the other hand, focuses on the body’s ability to release stored tension and trauma, restoring balance, reducing stress, and creating a greater sense of safety.

Together, NARM and Somatic Experiencing offer a holistic approach to trauma recovery, addressing both emotional and physical healing for lasting transformation.

I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT), supervised by Melissa Stevenson LMFT 50226. I have over four years of clinical experience. Post Master’s Degree completion, my advanced trainings include:

• NARM Certified Therapist

• NARM Master Therapist (a 2 year training process)

• Training Assistant for NARM’s international programs, helping to educate and train therapists around the world.

• Somatic Experiencing certification - 3 year advanced trauma-healing modality that integrates the body’s natural capacity for self-regulation.
