About Amie

Background and approach
She supports people facing stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, challenges with motivation, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns, anger, depression, compassion fatigue, and a wide range of related family and personal struggles such as adoption and foster care issues, blended family dynamics, body image concerns, codependency, and substance-related problems.

Amie encourages measured steps toward recovery and growth, acknowledging that beginning therapy takes courage.
She combines two decades of clinical practice with a collaborative style that centers client goals and life context, aiming to build confidence, improve communication, and reduce distress over time. Amie practices in Illinois and conducts sessions in English.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Care
Amie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and emotional processing. One common approach involves helping clients build coping and communication skills to manage stress, anxiety, and relationship challenges through structured practice and problem-solving. Another approach centers on trauma-informed methods that help people process difficult experiences and reduce trauma-related symptoms while restoring a sense of safety and agency.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. Amie will collaborate with each client to identify which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust the plan over time based on progress and feedback.
Online therapy with Amie is offered through multiple formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options increase flexibility for scheduling, make ongoing support accessible across time zones, and allow clients to choose the communication style that best suits their daily life and comfort level.
