You are not someone who asks for help easily, but you’re feeling overwhelmed. Your relationships are suffering. You are just trying to keep your head above water. I get it – things like life changes and creating healthy boundaries are hard and you’re struggling with it all. The good news is that you don’t have to go it alone; I am here to support you!

I love working with clients on issues related to healthy relationships, boundary-setting, self-esteem, coping with life changes, managing anxiety, and reducing stress. Additionally, I am a certified domestic violence/sexual assault counselor.

My approach to therapy is warm, nurturing, and nonjudgmental. I believe that a trusting relationship between client and therapist is at the heart of successful counseling. I practice from a strengths-based, empowerment perspective and truly believe that you have everything in you necessary to live a satisfying life, but that sometimes those things are just hard to access and that’s where I come in! I enjoy helping clients discover coping strategies and tools that make sense for their unique situations and needs as everyone differs in what works for them.

Together, we can define goals for our work to get you where you’d like to be while creating positive, lasting changes in your life. Also, I really think that a bit of humor is absolutely necessary to deal with this crazy and sometimes overwhelming thing called “life”… I’m looking forward to meeting you!

I am very fussy about who I entrust with my counseling. There is such a fine balance between them feeling too distant and closed off, only summarizing, or taking over and saying too much. Amie strikes this balance perfectly, ensuring that you feel connected to her as a real person whilst allowing your story and issues to lead the sessions. I highly recommend her as an excellent counselor. -R.U.
