Hey there, I’m Amy! My mission in life as long as I can remember has been to show kindness to others and serve my community in whatever ways I am able. I love hearing people’s unique stories and building connections in our disconnected, overstressed world. I earned my Master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling at The University of North Texas, which is the leading and largest play therapy training program in the world.

Since then, I have:

• Supported college aged adults in finding meaning and independence through the peaks and valleys of a new stage of life

• Helped neurodivergent children and teens learn to accept their most authentic selves, while also learning to cope with a world that was not built for their uniquely wonderful brains

• Partnered with parents to gain insight into generational family relational patterns, to mindfully move through the daily chaos of being a parent, and to rediscover their joy in parenting

When I am not in the therapy room, I enjoy spending time with my loving and supportive husband, my hyperactive Australian Shepherd named Whiskey, and my mischievous orange cat named Blaze. I love to go hiking and rock climbing to see the natural beauty of the world, and I also love spending cozy time at home reading a good book or playing video games like Animal Crossing or Stardew Valley.

If you are looking for a counselor who can truly understand your world and you are ready to begin the healing journey, then look no further!
