Hello, and welcome! I'm Amy, and I'm so glad you're here.

1. Reaching out for therapy can be a big step, and I appreciate you taking the time to learn a little about me. I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Massachusetts. I earned my master's degree in Mental Health Counseling, with a specialization in Addiction Counseling, from Cambridge College in 2014. My journey in the mental health field began in 2012 while I was in graduate school, and over the years I've had the opportunity to work with people from many different backgrounds and in a variety of treatment settings. I have experience supporting individuals who are struggling with anxiety, depression, substance use, psychotic disorders, relationship and family concerns, and life's many transitions. No matter what brings you to therapy, my goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, heard, and accepted without judgment. My approach is rooted in person-centered therapy because I believe that a strong, trusting relationship is the foundation for meaningful change. You are the expert on your own life, and I see my role as walking alongside you, helping you explore challenges, recognize your strengths, and work toward the goals that matter most to you. I also incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify unhelpful thought patterns, build practical coping skills, and create lasting positive change. I believe therapy is a partnership. I'll bring my experience, support, and guidance, and I'll encourage you to bring your honesty, curiosity, and willingness to grow. Together, we'll work through life's challenges at a pace that feels right for you. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply looking for a place to better understand yourself, I'm here to listen, support you, and help you move forward. I look forward to being part of your journey.

My background includes supporting individuals, couples, and families from a variety of backgrounds in navigating personal and life challenges, including depression, anxiety, trauma, parenting skills, grief and loss, transitions, etc. Currently, I am only offering individual services.

I also have 10+ years of specialized experience in working with survivors of sexual violence and non-offending loved ones in understanding the impact of trauma and exploring their own healing journey.

I am a licensed mental health counselor, and in recent years, my practice has evolved to focus on the issues of depression, anxiety, and trauma. I treat clients of all ages, but my special interest in working with individuals in highly stressful work\school environments.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with experience in both outpatient and inpatient settings, providing comprehensive mental health care across diverse populations. My background includes extensive work in behavioral health emergency settings, partial hospitalizations, IOP, recovery care, community psychiatric care. I also have experience supporting dually diagnosed patients with co-occurring medical conditions, giving me a broad perspective on the complex interplay between mental and physical health.

I earned my PMHNP degree from Post University and hold PMHNP licensure in both Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Throughout my career, I have remained committed to evidence-based care, while continuously seeking opportunities for professional development and growth in the mental health field.

JULY openings! I believe good mental health is the key to happiness and balance in life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, and finding a “good fit” can be even more challenging! I’ve been practicing for 15 years, but in the last decade, have shifted my main focus to adults and couples that are working to improve their mental health and communication.
