Amy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a master’s in counseling from Northwestern University. Before transitioning into the mental health field, she spent a decade working as a corporate copywriter. Her professional background gives her unique insight into how career demands intersect with mental, physical, and relational well-being. Amy believes in the power of the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for healing—recognizing that feeling heard, seen, and cared for often plays a more significant role in meaningful change than any specific treatment modality or workbook.

As a White, cishet woman born and raised in Indiana, Amy recognizes that the pursuit of therapeutic goals (especially understanding one’s cultural context) is deeply vulnerable work. She approaches this process with respect and care, and supports clients in getting curious about themselves and their experiences in order to make intentional and meaningful choices.

Amy works with adults navigating life transitions, intense emotions, avoidance, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and self-critical thought patterns. Her goal is to help clients tune into early signs of diminished mental health and respond with self-compassion rather than judgment. Whether someone is simply getting by or working toward thriving, Amy meets them where they are—with curiosity, care, and encouragement.

Amy’s own experience as a therapy client deeply informs how she shows up as a therapist: with openness, compassion, and a deep belief in the healing process. Her approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that change is possible when clients feel safe and understood. While she draws from evidence-based practices, she prioritizes the therapeutic relationship itself. Bringing her full presence to sessions, Amy listens closely and supports clients in identifying what’s working, what’s getting in the way, and what steps feel manageable. She believes therapy should be a space where people can explore without shame and build insight at a pace that feels right for them. 

Amy lives in Ohio with her husband, son, and pets. She has a special interest in advocacy work for children and families in the foster care system, as well as older adults whose needs are often overlooked due to systemic, individual, or geographic challenges.
