About

Hello and welcome! I’m Amy.With over 25 years in human services as a licensed clinical social worker, my path has been deeply shaped by the wisdom of teachers like Tara Brach, Pema Chödrön, and Jack Kornfield. Their insights into mindfulness and compassion sparked a career-long passion for helping others to build resilience, self-efficacy, and to reclaim overall wellness.As a therapist, a certified yoga instructor, and a highly sensitive person, I don’t just teach these tools—I practice them daily. I am constantly cultivating what it means to be fully present, prioritizing self-care and nervous system regulation in my own life so that I can show up completely for others.When I’m not in the office, you’ll likely find me outdoors playing with my animals or hiking down a Colorado trail. Nature is my greatest teacher, constantly reminding me how to find wonder in the present moment. I look forward to walking this path toward balance, healing and transformation with you.

Education & Licensure
Master of Social Work (MSW) from Southern Illinois University; Bachelor of Psychology from Southern Illinois University; Certified Yoga Instructor from Awakened Life School of Yoga
Treatment Approach
What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

As a highly sensitive person, I am naturally drawn to the unique insights of neurodivergent thinkers. I’m driven to support those whose talents are often overlooked by a rigid, standardized society. Having seen the gap between system expectations and neurodivergent reality firsthand in public schools, I’ve dedicated my practice to bridging that divide. I value the depth and authenticity of this community and strive to provide a sensory-aware, “mask-free” environment. Together, we’ll prioritize your nervous system health and lean into your inherent strengths to foster resiliency and self-efficacy.

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

Rather than just diagnosing problems, I prioritize a meditative communication style that focuses on exploring your resiliency and values. By remaining fully present and utilizing deep, empathetic listening, I aim to hear and affirm the strengths and resilience hidden within your own story. My practice focuses on calming the mind to create space for connection. It involves validating emotions without immediate problem-solving, allowing you to feel seen and heard. The ultimate aim is to deepen trust, collaborate, and create a safe space for authentic sharing and self-actualization.
