Connecting with a therapist to truly find a trusting and helpful partnership is not easy. Having gone through dozens of talk therapists, I can attest to this fact. Amy has the unique advantage of being inside the bubble. She is not a white coat looking down on you while watching the clock and considering what pharmaceuticals could be tolerated.
For the longest time, I thought I was hopeless and locked away in my prison, never to be heard from again. I feel a victim to an evil that, to this day, I still don’t fully understand. Working with Amy gave me a powerful mirror that made it okay to appreciate what was good about myself.
I worked with a different therapist for 2 years prior to finding Amy. That therapist shall remain nameless. That experience has left me permanently scared and scarred.
I never believed I could ever trust another therapist again. And we all know, without transparency and trust, talk therapy is useless.
If I can offer one simple testimonial to help others figure out if Amy is worthy of your time and money, I trust her. I know she understands the pain. I know she believes healing is possible.
God Bless you all as you walk the narrow path trying to live by his one Law: Love one another.

A couple of weeks ago I was having terrible anxiety about my health for the first time in my life. I couldn't eat, I was shaking with terror and i was unable to focus on anything meaningful in my life. I tried a lot of things and one of the things I tried and found helpful was Amy's coaching. The exercises she led me through involved making your own "imaginary" support group and comforting the part of you that experienced the trauma that is affecting you now.
Speaking with Amy was definitely one of the things that helped me overcome my extreme anxiety.

Amy is a great listener and understands things quickly. I did not need to explain what I meant to her for long. She immediately got to the root of the issue. She could also analyze and find out the core wounds that I might be experiencing and was able to come up with some solutions and techniques for it. I liked that unlike some other counsellors, she does not just keep listening but provides more practical steps and methods to deal with the issues. She also gave me some good examples which make it easy to understand some difficult to explain topics. Overall, I would say that Amy has helped me a lot and I would definitely recommend her services.

I love Amy! She has become such a valued counselor and friend to me. I’ve always been very introspective and like to think I have myself mostly figured out by now. But Amy has a way of showing me a perspective, an attitude or approach I have not considered. She amazes me every time with her insight and generosity. Thank you Amy, for helping me become a happier and better functioning person.

Coaching by Amy was valuable because she presented ideas I could not obtain by myself. Before approaching Amy, my progress was hindered as I sought validation of my existing views. The value I see in coaching by Amy is access to new ideas, from someone skilled in developing new ideas.

Amy has no-nonsense, straight-forward advice to give. She has insight where I had no idea where to look or how to get something. Her input has been invaluable as a parent, as a woman, as a wife, and as a friend. Thank you, Amy, for the impact you’ve had on my life. Thank you for letting me know that where I am is exactly where I need to be, and how to access fully who I want to be. The advice given has many applications for many different areas of my life. She has been willing to access youtube videos that would be helpful, and give me advice on where to turn as far as books are concerned as well. In the month or so that we have been chatting, I have had a paradigm shift in many different areas of my life. Thank you again.

Amy cuts through the fog and gets to the core of things, tells it like it is and provides an alternative perspective that is validating and gets you moving again. She appeared at a time in my life when I had been brought to my knees, and I am so grateful for her insight!
