Hello, I'm Amy
I am fun, playful, silly, and deep.
I am a mover; bodies make sense to me.
I am deeply compassionate and can hold a giant container around other’s pain.
​
My play and delight are dancing. Nearly any kind, but my main loves are contact improv, fusion, and just free from (read: ridiculous) movement. I love being by water. Sitting by water stills, soothes and opens me so fully and delightfully​
​
I live with my husband, our 2 boys, and our dog.
A bit about my work
I help people be more fully and easily themselves.
​
I enjoy helping people of all genders develop a sense of belonging, safety and security, so they can more easily connect, play, create, and express themselves.
​
I enjoy helping people connect more fully with the world around them -- through myth, somatic practice, movement, and more.​
​
I care deeply about helping people feel safer in themselves, more trusting of their own knowing, and more able to live with depth, integrity, creativity, and aliveness.
​
I enjoy helping people heal intergenerational trauma that is preventing them from living as simply and enjoyable as they know is possible.
​
I enjoy helping people resolve old survival patterns, limiting beliefs, other trauma so they can thoroughly, expressively and creatively be who they truly are.
​
Who tends to resonate with my work
Many of the people who find me have already done meaningful inner work.
​
They are often thoughtful, intuitive, emotionally perceptive people who have spent years trying to understand themselves, yet still feel that some final layer remains just out of reach.
​
My work tends to resonate with people looking for something deeper, more experiential, relational, body-inclusive, or spiritually open than conventional talk therapy has offered them.
​
Many are therapists, helpers, creatives, spiritually-oriented people, neurodivergent people, or individuals who have long felt “too much” for the environments around them.
​
I do not see sensitivity, intensity, intuition, emotional depth, or nervous system responsiveness as problems to eliminate.
​
More often, they are qualities that need grounding, support, discernment, and space in order to become integrated strengths.
Training, modalities, and background
I am a lifelong learner and remain endlessly fascinated by healing, transformation, embodiment, relationship, nervous systems, symbolism, intuition, and the many ways human beings protect, lose, and rediscover themselves.
​
I have worked in the healing arts since 2008 and have been facilitating Family Constellations since 2011. My path has woven through psychotherapy, somatic trauma healing, bodywork, movement, mindfulness, attachment work, ritual, myth, spirituality, and relational healing.
​
My work is rooted primarily in Somatic Experiencing, attachment theory, nervous system healing, mindfulness, and experiential psychotherapy, while also drawing from EMDR, NARM, Brainspotting, Family Constellations, somatic touch work, movement practices, and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP).
​
I continue to study widely and regularly. Some of the streams currently influencing my work include mythology and embodiment, nervous system healing, relational neuroscience, energy awareness, attachment, spirituality, touch-based healing traditions, altered states, and intuitive forms of perception and knowing.
​
I have been especially nourished by Josh Schrei’s work and his Mythic Body course, which explores the relationship between myth, psyche, imagination, culture, symbolism, ecology, and embodied human experience. His work resonates deeply with my belief that healing is not only about symptom reduction, but also about restoring meaning, vitality, belonging, imagination, and connection to life.
​
On the bodywork side, I have trained in somatic touch work for trauma resolution, completed Kathy Kain and Steve Terrell’s Somatic Regulation and Resilience training, attended a Rosen Method intensive, and completed Level 1 training in Upledger CranioSacral Therapy. I continue exploring modalities such as Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy and Polarity Therapy as part of my ongoing curiosity about regulation, embodiment, and human healing.
Some of my training allows for the ethical use of touch in psychotherapy to support nervous system regulation, attachment repair, and trauma resolution. I receive ongoing consultation to support integrating touch carefully, relationally, and with deep respect for consent and pacing.
​
I also continue to study intuition, perception, imagery, and subtle awareness — not as replacements for grounded clinical work, but as additional ways of listening closely to human experience.
​
I read constantly, take courses often, and remain committed to growing both personally and professionally. My work evolves continually as I do.
​
My practice is LGBTQ+ affirmative and welcoming of people of many identities, relationship structures, spiritual orientations, and lived experiences. I aim to remain thoughtful about the ways trauma, culture, oppression, privilege, family systems, and relationship shape both the nervous system and the sense of self.
