Hi, I’m Amy, a licensed clinical social worker dedicated to supporting my clients on their journey toward authenticity. I work with adults of all ages as they navigate challenges and transitions, perhaps dealing with anxiety, depression, loss, confusion, self-doubt, or overwhelm. Most of my clients are neurodivergent, and/or queer-identifying (as am I). My warm approach is focused on you as the expert of your own life, experience, and story.

We've all heard that life is about balance, but who teaches us how to find that balance? It's hard enough under normal circumstances, but when life throws a curveball that changes your routine, it can feel like you're walking a tightrope. Add other people's needs and expectations to the mix, and finding balance for yourself can seem downright impossible. You don't have to navigate it on your own - I'm here to help!

When I retired from professional ballet, I attended Princeton University for my undergraduate studies. I started going to therapy and found it helped me participate more fully in my life and find more joy in my experience of college. My interest in mental health led me to study social work at the University of Pennsylvania, followed by sport psychology in Scotland, as a Fulbright scholar. I enjoy working with a variety of people, including athletes/artists/performers navigating transitions and r...
Hate therapy? I get it. If you’d rather spend your time and money not sifting through your problems, I don’t blame you. But, if you are missing out on a sense of peace or feel like you'll burst if something doesn't change soon, then it’s worth it to invest in yourself through therapy. I'm committed to not pathologizing people (you are not broken), but some of the concerns I work with the most are: men’s issues (i.e. intimacy) , life transitions (i.e. college, divorce), anxiety, substance use di...

Hello. So much changes when you are in college. Much of it is welcomed but things can become overwhelming fast. Some experiences challenge our beliefs about ourself, others, and this life. It's hard to know how to meet all the demands while prioritizing your mental and overall health. Having a space to talk openly without judgment can help you to sort through it all and gain confidence in yourself. Therapy provides that space. I have been helping people to address real challenges for over 16...
Do you want relief from the voice inside your head that tells you that you constantly aren’t good enough? Critiquing your body image, what you eat, how you perform? Those thoughts can be exhausting, and my clients are in the same boat. I work with students who are tired of constantly achieving, only to continue to feel like they are not complete. They struggle as they make choices for meals, or head to the gym. They strive for perfection in sport, in academics, relationships. They don’t want t...

My goal is to offer you support, help you maintain personal balance, and move towards a life that reflects your own unique potential. I will meet you where you are by using a strengths-based perspective to build on what already works well for you. Together we will honor what has gotten you this far, and discover what is holding you back. My approach to healing is based in the experience of the present moment. Much of our human experience is lost when we focus our attention on the past (regrets,...
Many people I work with describe their struggles with self-doubt, persistent worries, irrational fears, and "overthinking" tendencies, saying that they second-guess themselves and struggle to quiet their anxious thoughts. Often, these struggles are a result of past traumatic events that have shaped how the brain perceives the world. Other times, these struggles may trace back to unhelpful messaging from outside sources, which can result in learned behaviors, patterns, and ways of thinking that p...
In my practice, I use mindfulness techniques as foundational tools to help clients tune into the present moment and simply notice without judgment. Learning to pay attention on purpose helps us let go of unhelpful habits and behaviors, adopt new ways of moving through the world, view ourselves and others with more compassion, and connect more meaningfully with the people we love. My primary treatment modality is Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and I also have extensive experience providing titrate...
