Amy’s Approach:

More Than Just Talk Therapy

Amy doesn’t just help you analyze your problems - she helps you transform them. Her approach recognizes that real change happens when we understand not just what happened to us, but how those experiences shaped the way we see ourselves and relate to others.

Working with Amy, you’ll discover:

• Your unique patterns - Why you do what you do, without judgment

• Your authentic voice - What you really want, not what you think you should want

• Your personal power - How to make choices that align with who you’re becoming

• Your relational skills - How to connect with others in healthy, satisfying ways

Amy works under the supervision of Melissa Stevenson, LMFT 50226, ensuring you receive the highest quality care while benefiting from fresh perspectives and cutting-edge approaches.

Are you Ready to Discover Who You Really Are?

Hi. I’m Amy and I am glad that you are here. I specialize in helping individuals and couples navigate significant life transitions, heal from trauma, and process loss. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, or the lingering effects of relational or developmental trauma, I’m here to help you navigate these challenges with compassion and support. My approach is warm, non-judgmental, and collaborative. Together, we’ll work toward reclaiming your sense of aliveness, purpose, and connection.

I work primarily through two powerful therapeutic models: the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM) and Somatic Experiencing (SE). NARM helps uncover how relational trauma shapes your sense of self and relationships, guiding you to release outdated patterns and reconnect with your authentic self. SE, on the other hand, focuses on the body’s ability to release stored tension and trauma, restoring balance, reducing stress, and creating a greater sense of safety.

As an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT) with over four years of clinical experience, I’m a NARM Certified Therapist and have recently completed the two-year NARM Master Therapist training. I also serve as a training assistant for NARM’s international programs, helping to educate and train therapists around the world. In addition, I’m pursuing certification in Somatic Experiencing, a 3 year advanced trauma-healing modality that integrates the body’s natural capacity for self-regulation.

Together, NARM and Somatic Experiencing offer a holistic approach to trauma recovery, addressing both emotional and physical healing for lasting transformation.
