Hi! I’m Amie.

I’m so glad you’re here!

A woman sitting at a desk with a wall decorated with framed posters and pictures, including a calendar, and various colorful artwork. The desk has a salt lamp, a large tumbler with a straw, a container with pens and markers, and a laptop. 
Hello!

If you’re thinking about sharing your story with me, here’s a little about who I am:

I’m a Cleveland-based introvert who lives for a good book, a Cavs win, and can absolutely have a thoughtful conversation about your favorite Real Housewife (she probably says more about you than your zodiac sign).

My office is covered in movie posters instead of peaceful nature prints, and my cat, Clementine, sometimes joins in—usually by knocking something off my desk mid-session. I say “bonkers” a lot, love anything pistachio-flavored, and find laughter to be one of the best ways we connect as humans.

My goal is to bring that same mix of authenticity, warmth, and humor into our sessions together.

As a therapist, I believe in being genuine and creating a space where you can show up exactly as you are. You’ll find me in a t-shirt rather than formal wear, sharing genuine laughter, and probably tearing up right alongside you.

I won’t let you brush off your wins (even the small ones count!)—and yes…

I definitely want to see the picture, hear about the text, or talk through that comment that’s been replaying over and over in your mind. We’ll sort it out together—no judgment, just a space to breathe.

And I ABSOLUTELY want to meet your pets!

My Story

My path to becoming a therapist is deeply personal.

I understand how anxiety can hold you back, how depression can drain your motivation, and how society's expectations can trick us into doubting our worth.

Looking back, I sometimes wonder how different life could have felt if I’d learned earlier that sensitivity is strength and that my worth was never up for debate. Those hard-won lessons make me a more empathetic therapist and have shaped how I work today:

Blending feminist perspectives with evidence-based practices to help you embrace your sensitivity as a superpower and live a life that feels more you.

A white blanket is draped over the back of the sofa, and a small wooden side table is partially visible on the right. A hanging plant with round green leaves is suspended from a macramé holder above, and a framed bee illustration is on a white shelf on the wall.

I truly believe it’s never too late to do things differently, peel off the “shoulds,” and start building a life that actually feels like yours.

You've got this – and I've got your back!

  • My approach is trauma-informed, social justice-oriented, and grounded in intersectional feminist theory. This means I will not just focus on your symptoms, but also take into account the ways that all of the roles you play in your life and the pressures and expectations you feel from your relationships, your culture, and society as a whole impact your wellbeing.

    Our work together will be collaborative and my goal is to empower you and support you as you start to unpack the hard stuff. I will gently hold you accountable and frequently check in to make sure what we are doing is working for you and if we need to make any adjustments.

    This is a safe, affirming place for all sexual orientations, gender identities, and gender expressions.

    I believe healthy and happy can look like any size.

    I welcome and support all relationship structures, including ethical non-monogamy and polyamory.

    From a theoretical standpoint, in addition to Feminist Empowerment Therapy, I most utilize components from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I also pull a lot from Narrative, Schema, Interpersonal, and Relational Therapy.
