*Update 3.26.20: “Social distancing” need not interrupt or delay therapy. Many therapists (including myself) are providing telepsych (remote/distance) sessions via phone or video-call during this uncertain and surreal time. Many of us (including myself) have also lowered our student rates. You don’t need to hire me, but if you’re struggling, please connect with *somebody*.
Now back to my regularly scheduled profile;)

Hi! So, you’re checking out therapist profiles and considering therapy. Good move. Sometimes, talking with friends and family just isn’t enough. Maybe your mood, anxiety, relationships, use, or self- harm has gotten worse?
I’m sorry you’re struggling - though you came to the right place. Really.
Therapy can help you feel less overwhelmed and less stuck; break self-destructive relationship patterns and behaviors; take better care of yourself; get substance use under better control; and .... really, anything *you* want to address.
For more than 20 years, I’ve worked with adolescents and young adults struggling with school, relationships, ADHD, grief, anxiety, depression, self-injury, substance use, and most anything else you can imagine.
I am passionate about my work - most especially my work with your age group. My niece dubbed me a “teenaged grownup”. I didn’t argue:)
Here are some “reviews” by real clients:
*easy to talk to and approachable
*Understands the student experience and WCU culture
* she gets what it’s like to be my age in the 2000s
* She’s pretty funny sometimes
* she treats me like a real person
*very accepting and non-judgmental; I can talk with her about super sensitive stuff.
*She cares. I trust her.

You can learn more about me and my practice on my website.
If we decide to work together, know this: I am honest, sincere, and direct.
I will never impose my agenda or beliefs on you. I want to help you become the best version of yourself.

You needn’t see *me* But, if you’re struggling, please try at least a few sessions with *somebody*

The best therapy takes place in a relationship in which you feel heard, respected, and safe. Please don’t settle for anything less.

Best, Amy
