There Is A
Path Forward

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 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.

Past trauma can show up in the present, causing you to feel unsafe and anxious. 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.

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. You can have greater peace.

Pets are family. I know that because I’m a pet parent too. Our animals give us unconditional love and saying goodbye can feel unbearable. I will help you honor your incredible bond, while working through this pain.

Growing up isn’t easy. You may feel misunderstood and alone. It is normal to feel lost on the way to finding yourself. I provide a place that is free of judgment, where you can navigate transitions and explore who you are.

Fame, visibility and Instagram followers won’t protect you from pain. I will help you navigate criticism, self doubt, and the pressures to succeed. I provide a private space to explore yourself and stay grounded in who you are.

Patient Reviews

"Amy is my therapist of 7 years. I am still here because of this woman. She’s saved me over and over and over again."

Healthgrades 2020

"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."

Google 2025

"I wasn’t expecting to find a therapist who cares as much as she does. She’s not in this for money or notoriety. She’s respectful and warm, and also she’s a great listener."

Healthgrades 2018

"I'm in the mental health profession and dont run into a lot of good therapists in our field. Which is troubling. This is my first review of one. Amy deserves a great review, so I signed up to do that. This therapy has really helped me. I don't feel judged and that is a number one requirement. People should get the benefit of her as their therapist, and so I wanted to share her."

Healthgrades 2017

"Amy is different. I’ve gone to her for many years now. She is very intelligent and caring. I never felt judged or uncomfortable. Amy helped me change my patterns of thinking and I don’t feel so stuck anymore. I strongly recommend Amy."

Healthgrades 2024

"Not your run-of-the-mill therapist, she’s a special person. Our work has proved invaluable to me."

Can I sail through the changin’ ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons of my life?”
