Amy worked as geneticist for 13 years before she decided to pursuit her true passion of counseling and helping the Santa Fe community heal from the effects of systemic, familial, and individual trauma.  In addition to her counseling practice, she runs her own pet sitting and dog walking business.  She believes in unconditional positive regard, despite the flaws of being human, and that animals can be a healing presence and model for living in the moment.  She incorporates mindfulness and spirituality into her practice as a human being and clinician.  She believes healing can be achieved through authenticity, communication, and bringing shame out of the shadows.  She enjoys traveling, hiking, working out, and connecting with people through conversation.
