Amy received her Master’s degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2016, and since then, her journey as a therapist has been deeply rooted in compassion and a belief in the innate capacity for growth and healing within each individual. Amy’s approach centers around the transformative power of play and creative art expression, recognizing the profound connection between the body, thoughts, and feelings.
Amy supports children, families, and adults through experiences of trauma, utilizing evidence-based practices such as trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), internal family systems (IFS), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and polyvagal theory. Amy is passionate about working with young children, integrating child parent psychotherapy (CPP) and TraumaPlay—a therapeutic model designed to help children process and heal from trauma through play.
Beyond therapy, Amy enjoys reading, spending time in nature, being with family, and snuggling with her cats.
