About Calming Home Counseling
About Amy (she/they)
Hi, I'm so glad you're here! As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I work with individuals and couples around a variety of concerns, including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and trauma.
As a recovering people pleaser and perfectionist, I have a special interest in supporting clients struggling with these issues. I'm passionate about working with clients who have jobs in the helping professions, including (but not limited to) doctors, nurses, teachers, veterinarians, and therapists.
I approach counseling from an attachment lens and believe that healing happens when we feel emotionally safe and connected. I aim to create a warm, inviting space free from judgement so that you can fully embrace yourself and your loved ones.
Philosophy
While our past shapes us, it doesn't have to define us. With me, it's not about what's wrong with you. It's about what's right with you, what's happened to you, and how you've adapted in order to get by.
​
I work with you to bring awareness to what your past experiences have taught you about yourself, relationships, and the world. Together we tackle the emotional and mental burdens that you have taken on and explore ways for you to release the burdens that no longer serve you.
​
Therapy is a collaborative process that can help you understand yourself better and tap into a more confident, calm version of yourself- so that you can show up for yourself and others differently.

Online Therapy
I offer a free 30 minute consultation so we can determine if we're a good fit. During a consultation, we'll discuss the reason you're seeking therapy, what you'd like to accomplish in therapy, and how I might be of help. Once you contact me, I'll reach out via email to set up your no pressure consultation.
