More about Amy

16 years' experience
Female
LCMHC, LPC

I am a licensed therapist in North Carolina with over 16 years of professional experience supporting individuals navigating stress, anxiety, trauma, LGBTQ+ related concerns, intimacy challenges, eating disorders, and self-injury. I hold specialized training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Brainspotting, both of which are powerful, evidence-based approaches for healing trauma and enhancing emotional well-being.

My approach is grounded in creating a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings openly. I believe in the strength it takes to begin the healing journey, and I’m here to walk alongside you as you work toward a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
