Amy is committed to educating individuals in the following areas: discovering self-worth and self-forgiveness; working with people who struggle with issues involved with addictions, disordered eating and thinking; and teaching individuals how to resolve issues surrounding trauma and grief. Amy has a respect for the value of psycho-educational and process groups and a deep held belief in the infinite value of the human soul.

Amy appreciates the diversity of the populations with whom she has worked, as she has worked with a wide variety of individuals from various socioeconomic, cultural, ethnic, educational, and other diversified backgrounds.
