Hi, I’m Amy. I’m a psychotherapist, and I work with people who feel weighed down by anxiety, depression, grief, or just the day-to-day difficulties of life.

Some days it can feel like nothing is making sense. You don’t need to have it all figured out before coming in. We’ll figure it out together. I believe therapy works best when it feels like a collaborative and safe conversation. In our sessions, I listen closely, help you make sense of things, and give you tools to feel more grounded and clear.

​

My goal is to walk with you as you move toward the changes and relief you’re hoping for. I will help you find ways to feel more balanced and calm in your life. If you’re considering therapy, I’d be honored to support you in that process. I would be glad to hear from you.

Work With Me

Specialties

Depression

Depression is more than sadness. It can make you feel stuck and hopeless, like nothing will ever change. Even when depression feels permanent, it isn’t who you are. Therapy is a space where your pain is understood. You don’t have to face this alone. We will work together to find relief and help you connect with the things that matter to you.

Trauma

Past trauma can show up in the present, causing you to feel unsafe, anxious and disconnected. Traumatic experiences can leave you with deep wounds, but it doesn’t have to define your future. I will support you in rebuilding your trust and confidence. We will process your pain, and help you to develop greater strength and resilience.

Anxiety

When your mind feels like it can’t stop spinning, and your worries and fears are overwhelming, life can feel burdensome and draining. Anxiety can convince you that you’re unsafe, even when you’re not in danger. We’ll build tools to manage anxious thoughts, calm your nervous system, and give you greater peace of mind.

Pet Loss & Grief

Pets are family. I know that because I’m a pet parent too. I recognize that losing a pet can be just as painful, and sometimes even more difficult, than the death of a loved human in your life. Our animals give us unconditional love and saying goodbye can feel unbearable. I will help you honor your incredible bond, while working through the pain of this great loss.

Adolescents & Young Adults

Growing up isn’t easy. You may feel misunderstood and alone. During this time of transition, you can benefit from having a trusted ally as you navigate expectations, family conflict, relationships and uncertainty. It’s normal to feel lost on the way to finding yourself. I provide a place that is free of judgment, where you can explore who you are, and feel heard and respected.

Artists and Performers

Fame, visibility and Instagram followers won’t protect you from pain. I will help you navigate criticism, self doubt, and the pressures to succeed. Whether you’re managing a life in the spotlight, career uncertainty or creative blocks, I provide a confidential and private space to explore yourself, stay grounded in who you are, and find balance and calm in your life.

Healthgrades 2018

"Seeing Amy has been one of the best decisions of my time in New York. She has helped me with a lot of my "issues" and has always been sympathetic, thoughtful and kind. She has absolutely put me in a more secure and happy place-exactly the reason to see her."
