Bio

 Amy is a clinical social worker with a passion for serving individuals, families and communities. She believes in the power of therapy to help people heal and grow, and she is passionate about helping others find their path to wellness.

She graduated from The Ohio State University with a Master's degree in Clinical Social Work and has been working as a therapist since 2010. She is currently pursuing my doctorate in Community Care & Counseling with a focus on trauma. In her work with clients, she uses evidence-based treatment approaches to help individuals resolve issues such as anxiety, depression, grief/loss, trauma and substance use disorders.

In addition to her clinical work, her goal is to become an expert in trauma-informed care through both education and experience so that she can help others improve their understanding of trauma-related issues as well as provide them with tools for treating these conditions effectively. She wishes to do this not only for the clients she serves in therapy but to also serve other clinical mental health professionals through supervision and training.
