Amy's Approach to Counseling

Amy personal style is one of warmth and compassion. She has the ability to connect with children, adolescents and their parents in a way that puts them at ease and helps them feel understood. By connecting in this way, she develops a therapeutic relationship with both child and parent. In doing so, she gains insight into their worlds so she can help them discover new solutions for coping and parenting. She empowers and encourages them to all make changes that create more harmonious and satisfying personal and family relationships.
