Great to meet you!

Welcome! I'm an experienced clinical psychologist and work with adults navigating a variety of mental health concerns. My specialty areas include anxiety and depression, trauma, and life transitions (e.g. parenting, pregnancy and postpartum, divorce, career change, grief & loss). I have extensive experience working with first responders and military folks and welcome opportunities to support these populations!

My approach to therapy

I believe therapy works best as a collaborative process where we are both engaged, motivated, and honest. My primary approach is grounded in evidence-based practices (i.e. CBT, ACT, and EFT) along with opportunities for deep, existential work. I have a flexible style and tailor treatment to my clients' goals and preferences. Whether you're looking to dive deep or simply want to gain actionable skills that you can use in daily life, I can help.

I take a holistic approach to mental health, recognizing the strong connection between mind and body. In our work together, we may explore how lifestyle factors—like sleep, nutrition, and movement—can support your emotional well-being and overall healing.

You can learn more about me and my approach at my website - www.amayapsych.com. Please contact me to schedule a free consultation so we can discuss your needs and determine if this would be a good fit!

What you can expect from me

Our first session will consist of a clinical intake interview where we will discuss the reasons you're seeking therapy and your background to help me get a better sense of who you are and how I can help you. We'll identify your treatment goals, discuss any concerns you may have, and create an effective treatment plan that works for you.
