You've Held It Together Long Enough ✳︎ Here, You Don't Have To ✳︎
On the outside, you look composed. Calm. Capable. The one who keeps it together.
But really…
You're sitting in your car after work, replaying that meeting moment when Steve talked over you (again), mentally drafting the "perfect" comeback you'll never actually say.
You rewrite emails five times, agonizing over whether you used too many exclamation marks–and added "okay if not!" so you don't sound desperate, or worse... bossy.
You say "It's fine!" when it isn't, just to keep the peace. You volunteer for things you don't have time for, then quietly resent it.
You're tired of managing everyone else's comfort while quietly ignoring your own.
Hi, I’m Amie 👋
I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor seeing clients in Ohio and Missouri.
My approach blends feminist therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) so you can move from self-doubt, shame, and disconnection to clarity, confidence, and a life that actually feels like yours.
No fluff. No generic self-help platitudes. Just real talk, real strategies, and a safe space to untangle the patterns keeping you stuck.

My Services
Hypervigilant? Overthinking everything? A recovering “good kid?” Terrified of disappointing - or even worse, being a burden?
You’ve done all the things you’ve been told you should do, you’ve tried to live up to everyone’s expectations, you’ve checked all the boxes. So why do you feel stuck and unfulfilled?
Are you the “difficult” one in your family? Constantly told to lighten up? Terrified you’re going to continue the same toxic patterns as your emotionally immature parents?
The weight of the political climate can feel unbearable. With basic rights under threat and social injustices persisting - it’s hard not to feel like there is an overall sense of chaos looming.
Therapy shouldn’t be about becoming someone new or bulldozing your way to confidence. The goal isn’t just “feeling better.” It’s about steady, safe, sustainable shifts that help you:
Speak up without replaying the whole conversation on a loop later
Feel grounded instead of overwhelmed
Stop apologizing for existing (yes, even in your emails)
Recognize your sensitivity as a strength, not something to “fix”
Release the pressure of people-pleasing
Say no to plans without feeling like the world will crumble
Feminist, Systemic Awareness
So you can stop blaming yourself for what was never yours to carry.
Safety & Validation
A space where your anger, grief, and hope are welcome, without judgement.
Practical, Empowering Tools
No jargon, no sugarcoating. Real strategies you can use right away.
