About Ami

I grew up on the east coast and have been living on the west coast for over ten years.  I had a previous career as a theatre teacher and director, and am now the mother of three young children.  My life experiences as an educator, artist, parent, and partner have brought me a wide range of perspectives that I use to build relationships and understanding with my clients. 

I work collaboratively and connect with clients to identify counseling goals and understand each person’s unique history and story.  Throughout counseling, I provide support and strategies for enhancing self-awareness, self-compassion, and personal growth.   

I provide warmth, attunement, and insight as clients dive into relational patterns, explore feelings, identify strengths and challenges, and learn to live more authentically and confidently.
