Amy’s goal is to help clients realize their mental health goals, experience healing and an increased sense of well-being. Amy works from a polyvagal lens to healing - with the understanding that feelings are expressed first through the nervous system and then are processed in the brain. Her style is compassionate, empathetic, direct, and infused with humor.

As a somatic health expert, Amy provides compassionate, person-focused, and practical therapy to individuals experiencing grief, anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and work-life balance challenges. Having twenty years of experience as a massage therapist and body worker uniquely positions Amy to understand and appreciate the body-mind connection.

In sessions with Amy, you can expect her to encourage you to make this connection for yourself while accessing the wealth of information your nervous system has to offer you about feelings and past experiences. This connection brings lasting, healing and substantial growth.
