Therapist

More about Amy
Amy specializes in working with adults and young adults experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, relational issues, and substance use and addictions, including gambling addiction.
She is trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and utilizes a variety of evidence-based and cutting-edge modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Strengths-Based Therapy, Polyvagal Theory, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Gestalt Therapy. Amy integrates these approaches through the lens of Client-Centered Therapy, grounded in unconditional positive regard, empathy, genuineness, and the importance of the therapeutic relationship.
Amy’s approach to therapy is rooted in her belief that everyone is doing the best they can, yet at times we can all feel stuck. She is motivated to encourage clients in what they are doing well, equip them with knowledge, skills, and resources, and empower them to get “unstuck” as they heal, adapt, and thrive. Amy believes this work can only be done within the context of a safe and supportive relationship, which she is deeply committed to providing for every client.
Amy is inclusive and affirming of all sexual and gender identities and has extensive experience working with LGBTQIA+ individuals and their families. She is the founder and former director of Parent Connect, a program at North Point Community Church in Alpharetta, GA that continues to support parents of LGBTQIA+ individuals.
Amy is also a clinical facilitator of Parent Recovery Network (PRN), a free, anonymous support group for parents of loved ones (of any age) struggling with substance use, addiction, and mental health challenges. PRN helps parents navigate the emotional storm that often follows discovery of a loved one’s addiction by providing community, education, and resources.
Amy was born and raised in Grand Rapids, Michigan and has lived in Atlanta for over 23 years. She is married to her wife, Amber, and has four children. Amy enjoys traveling, watching football, being outdoors, going to the movies, and spending time with her family.
