ABOUT AMY:

Amy graduated from Radford University with a Master of Science

degree in Counselor Education with a concentration in clinical mental health. She enjoys working with individuals who are experiencing a variety of issues, including anxiety, depression & other mood disorders, family conflict, self-esteem, trauma & abuse, as well as those experiencing difficult life transitions (divorce, relocation, grief & loss, etc.). She is licensed in both NC and VA.


A NOTE FROM AMY:
Counseling is a collaborative process where I strive to create a safe and open environment for you to share your experiences. Areas that can be addressed through counseling include, but are not limited to grief and loss, depression, anxiety, traumatic experiences, life transitions, interpersonal conflicts, and problems with self-confidence. As we work together through the therapeutic process, we create and work toward goals that you want to achieve. We will adjust these goals to ensure that your needs are met quickly, so that you can get back to the best version of yourself.


I work with adults and adolescents struggling with depression, anxiety, life transitions, PTSD, first responder debriefing/processing, substance abuse, self-harm, LGBTQ+ issues, bipolar and other mood disorders.


I practice through an eclectic approach and utilize Person-Centered therapy, Cognitive Behavioral therapy (CBT), Solution Focused therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and various other approaches in my practice. We will work together to find the best approach for you.
