Meet Dr. Amy
At the heart of every relationship is a story — one shaped by family patterns, unspoken expectations, and deeply rooted beliefs. As a marriage and family therapist, I help individuals, couples, and families uncover these dynamics with gentle curiosity and insight. By increasing awareness of how these patterns influence your thoughts, behaviors, and relationships, you can begin to heal what feels broken and create space for new, healthier ways of connecting.
Whether you’re seeking to strengthen your marriage, navigate family challenges, or simply deepen your understanding of yourself, I offer a safe space where spiritual, emotional, and relational growth can flourish. My approach is rooted in the belief that healing relationships — with yourself and with others — is possible through intentional reflection, compassionate guidance, and practical tools that lead to lasting change.
You were never meant to carry the weight of anxiety, depression or the pain of strained relationships alone. Together, we’ll explore, heal, and build stronger connections that bring peace and purpose to your life.
