About

Hi there, I'm Amy! I work with families and individual family members in the form of family therapy sessions, marriage or couples counseling, domestic violence issues, depressive disorders, anxiety, and conduct disorders. My approach I utilize psychodynamic and behavioral cognitive techniques including hypnosis, visualization imagery, relaxation, and systematic desensitization. I also administer psychological tests and write psychological assessment reports. My focus My approach to therapy is from a developmental perspective and I do well with challenging cases. My communication style I do a lot of active listening, asking questions and I comment as necessary to be helpful. I am warm and caring. My journey to therapy My father had many emotional problems, and it was my concern for him and my interest in his symptoms that lead me into the field. My goals for you Success occurs when a patient's symptoms have decreased, they have reached their therapeutic goals, are functioning well and are feeling better. My first session with you In my first session, I tend to ask questions in an effort to gather as much background information on the patient as I can.
