She received my masters in Clinical Social Work from Loyola University Chicago in 2008. She is a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional – Level II. Amy specializes in treating couples and families.
Amy believes healing happens in connection — when you feel safe, understood, and empowered to grow.
Her approach to therapy is trauma-informed, person-centered, and integrative — which means she tailors the work to fit you rather than fitting you into a specific model. Being trauma-informed means Amy understands that everyone’s story carries layers of experience, and that safety, trust, and choice are essential to healing.
Amy will move at your pace, helping you reconnect with a sense of stability and strength as what’s been hard or painful is explored. A person-centered approach means she sees you as the expert on your own life. Her role is to walk alongside you with empathy, curiosity, and respect — helping you uncover your own wisdom and capacity for growth.
​
Because every person and every story is different, Amy uses an integrative approach, drawing from modalities such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, parts work, and attachment-based perspectives. This flexibility allows us to find what best supports your unique goals, whether that’s managing anxiety, processing trauma, or deepening self-understanding.
Above all, Amy's goal is to create a space where you feel safe, accepted, and empowered to heal — a space where you can explore who you are and what you need, at your own pace and in your own way.
