Hi there, thank you for reading my bio. My name is Amy and I have been a LMFT in California for over 12 years and in mental health for the last 22 years. I started doing 7cups because I believe everyone should have access to therapy in way that works for them. Not every person can sit in a therapists office, or in front of a screen. Sometimes people can better express themselves in written form. I utilize a strength based approach in working with people and really try and understand their situation. Using these perspectives has helped me because more successful in those I work with. I look forward to working with you. Please note that this is not face to face therapy but therapy done via text/chat. I am unable to offer Face to face at this time.  Amy

Seeking support takes a lot of courage, and you should be proud of yourself for taking the first step towards building awareness into your own thought processes and behaviors. I am a licensed clinical psychologist in California with over 8 years of clinical experience working in University College counseling centers.  I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship/interpersonal issues,  career challenges, self-esteem/motivational , substance use, and multicultural/sexuality concerns. I understand how experiences and life transitions can increase stress and begin to impact emotional well-being, relationships, or individual performance.  I utilize evidence-based practices to help individuals alleviate and manage unhelpful thoughts or behaviors that get in the way of everyday life and tasks.  My counseling style is warm, emphathic, interactive, and engaging. While, my approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and solution-focused treatment, it is important that the treatment plan meets your specific goals and areas of focus. I work from a strength-based collaborative approach to empower individuals to be involved in their own process of change and growth. I look forward to supporting you, and working with you every step of the way.

I maintain a strong foundation in many theoretical approaches but believe in working from an eclectic orientation.  I believe therapy is a collaborative process between the therapist and client.  As a result, I utilize diverse therapeutic techniques. I work with my clients utilizing diverse therapeutic techniques to develop individual treatment plans that suit their therapeutic goals and needs, while helping to bring them to a place of healing.  I understand that each individual moves at their own pace when engaging in the therapeutic process.  I believe the process is unique to each individual and it is my role to assist them at their individual pace and comfort level.  The focus of my therapy work is to meet my clients where they are at emotionally and follow their pace towards emotional healing. I like to work with my clients by helping them find their path to self-discovery, renewed mental health, and counsel them to living emotionally satisfying lives. I believe that when one has the ability to ask for help it is a symbol of strength and courage.
