About Amy
She blends evidence-based techniques with reflective practices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy shape many of her interventions. She also draws on mindfulness, Jungian ideas, yoga, and storytelling to help people reconnect with what matters to them.
Amy's background includes community work, in-home family services, and time with at-risk youth in the Peace Corps. She has provided therapy in medical, school, tribal, and correctional settings. Those varied experiences inform a flexible, down-to-earth style in session.
In a typical meeting she listens first and helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck. Then she offers simple, doable practices - thought work, present-moment exercises, or movement and breath tools from her yoga practice. She frames change as gradual and collaborative, so the next steps feel manageable.
Amy lives near Lake Michigan and continues personal practices such as yoga, reiki, and Native Tradition. That combination of everyday life and steady clinical experience informs how she helps people cope, heal, and find clearer direction.
