Meet Amy

My mission is to provide quality culturally sensitive counseling services to individuals, particularly adults struggling with self-worth, relationship challenges, and multicultural and identity issues. I believe that everyone intuitively has the tools needed to succeed in therapy, and my goal is to help clients understand and access their strengths to overcome emotional and mental health barriers that may hinder them from living a fulfilled life. I strive to provide a nurturing environment for people, especially those who have historically been marginalized, to thrive.

My mission is to provide quality culturally sensitive counseling services to individuals and couples to help them achieve a more satisfying life.
