“I listen first—and without judgment—to meet clients wherever they are and develop trust.”

Through assessment and conversation, she can help clients identify their primary and secondary stressors to get them the help they need. “People can be reluctant to share, not wanting to hurt those around them, so I let it be their session and they can ultimately benefit,” Amy says.
