Meet Amy, MC,
Mental Health Therapist
I don’t believe in “ideal clients” - that idea feels backwards to me. If you’re willing to share a piece of your story, you’re welcome here. I know how tiring it can be to scroll through therapist bios, trying to figure out who might actually understand. I won’t claim to have all the answers - I don’t.
What I offer is a space where you don’t have to hold it all together. Bring the overwhelm, the numbness, the grief, the “too much” - we’ll work through it side by side. You don’t have to pretend here, and that’s where the real work can start.
I’ve spent over seven years supporting people in different ways - from schools and universities, to women’s programs at Hope Mission, to wellness groups and even farms where animal therapy showed me the power of connection. My background includes a diploma in Social Work, a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology, and a Master of Counselling from City University of Seattle. I’m EMDR trained, DBT-informed, and I draw on holistic approaches that mix practical tools with honest reflection (and sometimes a bit of tough love).
I specialize in trauma, grief and loss, ADHD, perinatal mental health, first responder support, and those big “why” questions that keep us up at night. I’ve spent much of my career alongside youth and families, helping kids and teens work through anxiety, conflict, and self-esteem, while supporting their parents in the process. It’s work I care deeply about, and I’m continuing to grow my toolbox with play therapy on my list of next trainings.
Life can be messy, heavy, and confusing, but that doesn’t mean you’re broken. The strength you need has always been there - sometimes it just takes the right support to see it again. Therapy with me isn’t about fixing you; it’s about having someone alongside you while you sort through what feels overwhelming and begin to steady yourself. If you’re ready to show up —even unsure, even messy — that’s already enough to begin.
