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. I seek to create a safe, compassionate space where...

You can do hard things, but you're tired, or wondering if things have to be this hard. You take care of yourself, but you still feel lonely or worried. People on the outside might say you're crushing it, but on the inside, sometimes you feel you're being crushed. You have big questions for which there may be no answers. I live in the same world you do, with its profound beauty and heartbreaking flaws. I strive to connect with my clients authentically, and sit with them as we contemplate diff...
We are a team of clinical social workers specializing in yoga/mindfulness, EMDR, and CBT. Our understanding is that in order to truly heal, we must honor our whole-body and mind working together. Many of our clients find that much of their suffering is stored throughout their bodies as anxiety, depression, and stress begin to take over. We support students as they navigate the unfamiliar and sometime daunting transition into adulthood and offer a warm, hopeful guide towards joy and purpose. ...
Life is incredibly overwhelming at times, isn’t it? We have all kinds of expectations and demands from our family, our partners, friends, employers, professors, and even ourselves. It can seem like a harsh world and the last few years have felt especially taxing. So many young adults are inundated with stress and sadness. This can lead to feeling anxious, unfocused, unproductive, and irritable. Then the self-doubt and criticism inevitably emerge and the questions of “What is my purpose?” and ...

Sometimes we don’t have anyway of knowing what we’ve been through until it’s over. Recognizing things that were harmful to us sometimes cannot happen until we are no longer in survival mode. Dealing with overwhelming thoughts, depression, anxiety, or the overwhelming emotions that can come in waves is a significant thing to have to handle. This can lead to people struggling to handle life, and even consider ending it. At Inverted Dawn, we specifically work with people who’ve reached that point w...

Stress and challenges in life are often compounded with systemic oppression, relationship conflict, pain, and societal pressure. This all can make it more difficult to access external resources as well as our intrinsic capacity for healing, creativity and fulfillment. I seek to work with people who want to become more aware of themselves so their true potential and fulfillment can be realized and embodied. Together, in a space of confidential support, we can explore constraints and burdens, focu...

Okay. Here's the thing. Nobody really knows how therapy works, or why some people get better with one approach and some another. What we do know is that if you connect with your therapist, and if you really commit to digging in and doing the work, healing and change can happen, and things can get better. And I can help you with that. I'll listen to you. I'll pay close attention. I'll meet you where you're at, with empathy and compassion and even some humor. And I'll tell you the truth. I'm gues...
