Whether this is your first or a returning experience in therapy, starting therapy with someone new can feel overwhelming. We are here to help you navigate your search for a therapist and try our best to connect you with a therapist that fits your and/or your child’s needs.
Your work with AMK therapists will begin with a brief phone consultation where you and an AMK therapist will discuss your interests for starting therapy and schedule an initial appointment. In the initial appointment, we discuss goals for therapy, as broad or specific as you prefer. For parents of young children, therapists begin with an initial parent session to gather information prior to meeting with your child. Our therapists are able to answer questions regarding suggested frequency of sessions, goals, and scope of work together. We understand that the therapeutic relationship is an important component of our work together. After our initial meeting, you can decide if the therapist and approach is the right fit for your needs.
When working with individuals and families, one of my primary goals is to foster an
environment of compassion and understanding; ideally creating a safe space for clients when developing a therapeutic relationship. I do so by providing unconditional acceptance as clients share their story with me. I strive to provide each client with individualized treatment to best support their needs while considering the intersectionality of their individual identity. Within sessions, I work to create a collaborative environment from a strength-based approach to help
identify goals rooted in client’s values and continue to develop areas of focus as they make progress throughout our sessions.
Throughout my career working with children and families, my areas of experience include anxiety, depression, autism spectrum disorder, grief and loss, self-esteem, and life transitions. I have worked in a variety of settings including inpatient child psychiatric unit, community mental health, and private practice settings providing a combination of individual, group, and family therapy. In addition to my LPC license, I am also a board certified behavior analyst (BCBA) with experience providing parent coaching and training individualized to the needs of each family. I aim to create achievable and meaningful goals with clients to support their success not only
within therapy sessions, but also within client’s day to day experiences.
In my practice, I use an integrative approach with the following clinical modalities:
I understand therapy can be an intimidating and challenging process. I approach each client with empathy and a safe space without judgement where clients can make positive changes and foster growth. I strive to make sure clients feel heard, valued, and empowered. With the right support, validation, and encouragement, we all have the capacity to change and create a life filled with happiness and fulfillment. Part of being human means experiencing both joy and pain. I encourage the exploration of both the positive and the painful parts of our lives while working together to actively problem-solve and find solutions to life’s challenges.
Together, we can construct individualized, realistic goals for therapy that empower clients through self-awareness and the development of healthy and adaptive life skills.
My experience consists of working with children, adolescents, young adults, and adults. I specialize in working with people experiencing mood and anxiety disorders, ADHD, trauma, periods of transition, and issues of self-esteem/self-worth.

Hello and welcome! I wonder if you are experiencing a time of enduring, healing, exploring, or finding meaning – or, perhaps, are unsure of where you are. If that’s the case, you’re doing a great thing already! Searching for a therapist is taxing, yet important work. Here’s what might be helpful to know about me.
I offer bilingual (English/Spanish) services and have experience with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families in hospital and outpatient settings. My areas of experience include trauma, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, grief and loss, couples/family issues, and life transitions. Some areas of special interest for me are: racial identity development, gender and sexuality, socio-political stress, immigrant/generational trauma, and spiritual concerns (including astrology).
The space we share together is one of belonging; every part of you is welcome here. I bring humor, flexibility, and radical honesty to the therapy relationship. I aim to facilitate a space of curiosity that leads to deeper insight, awareness, and self-compassion to help bring meaningful change wherever you need in this season. I tend to draw our attention to what’s happening in the “here and now” during sessions to interrupt unhelpful patterns and craft new ones. I value collaboration, and often invite feedback to ensure your voice and purpose is at the center of all that we do.
I draw from a range of clinical modalities including:

I became a social worker because I enjoy being with people and accompanying them on their journey to self-discovery. I consider it a privilege that clients let me into their worlds and trust me with their stories. I love being able to be present for people and work with them to recognize their individual strengths, gifts, and capacity for resiliency.
I work to create a safe, warm, judgement-free, and trauma-informed space for all of my clients. My approach to therapy is one that fosters a collaborative relationship between client and therapist. I hold a strong belief that the client is the expert in their own lives. Therefore, I strive to partner with clients to identify goals that are important to them and to work towards achieving their goals. In developing relationships with clients, I rely on humor and warmth to foster strong connections. Additionally, I embrace a holistic approach that focuses on the mind/body connection. I use my training as a registered yoga instructor to integrate trauma-informed yoga, meditation, and breathing techniques into the therapeutic process.

Tengo experiencia de trabajar con clientes de todas las edades. Mientras soy feliz a trabajar con toda la gente, soy apasionado sobre el apoyo a los niños, adolescentes, y joven adultos entre sus alegrías y desafíos. Incorporo empatía, humor, autenticidad, y respeto en mi estilo de terapia para establecer un medioambiente bondadoso y compasivo para mis clientes.
Tengo experiencia clinical de ansiedad, depresión, ADHD, autoestima, problemas de imagen corporal, desafíos familiares, problemas relacionales, dolor y pérdida, trauma y transiciones de la vida. Utilizo prácticas basadas en la evidencia como:
Therapy can often be an intimidating space for people, so as a cis-Black male therapist, my
theoretical orientation/approach to therapy is from a liberation and social justice lens, working
through an anti-oppressive framework, which is trauma-informed, to make clients feel a sense of
belonging while working with me. In working from a Liberation Psychology lens, I am able to
better assist clients from BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and other intentionally marginalized backgrounds in
identifying and managing anxieties and other stressors/mental health needs from their
experiences of oppression, trauma, and other sociopolitical factors. In doing so, my hope is to
help with reducing the feeling of hopelessness while addressing their needs.
Continuing, I value holding space when needed and helping my clients work toward the social
and emotional goals they have set. It is of great importance to advocate for my clients when
they need advocating, whether in sessions or out of sessions through social activism,
advocation in school or job settings, or empowering them to advocate for themselves. In my
work, children, adolescents, adults, and couples, through intentional relationship building, are
provided a safe and respectful space where they can be fully autonomous people and
experience compassion while working toward their goals.
Furthermore, I utilize a mix of play therapy, art therapy, as well as talk therapy, when working
with children and adolescents, while also collaborating with their parents and other
professionals to ensure all of my client’s needs were being met. I have extensive experience
utilizing CBT, ACT, ERP, and other evidenced based frameworks while working with clients of
many groups and ages, who may experience a wide range of behavioral and emotional
concerns, such as anxiety, stress, ADHD, low self-esteem, difficulty with life transitions, trauma,
depression, grief/loss, academic exploration, relational issues, and attachment disorders.
I hope through working together that the journey to rewriting your story begins to feel less lonely
and less overwhelming. I will do my best to consistently help navigate the therapeutic process
with you.

At the core of my practice is the belief that relationships and connection light the path to healing. As a social worker, I strive to hold the complexities that surround us and how that can manifest, for better or worse, in our lives. I believe therapy is a collaborative process where we can sift through “the stuff” together and work to identify your goals and values. Therapy isn’t always about feeling good but creating a safe space for you to feel. Allowing yourself space to feel is a powerful and revolutionary action in today’s world. As a queer clinician, I feel that is imperative that therapy be affirming of all our identities and that I practice with cultural and racial humility.
I am a trained school social worker who loves working with children/families and adults of all ages as they manage the challenges of coming up in today’s world. My clinical interests include; trauma-informed/healing-centered care, support navigating schools and large institutions, child/family therapy, young adults, life transitions, pregnancy, and parenthood. I use a variety of therapeutic approaches in my practice including psychodynamic frameworks, the science of learning and development, behavioral therapy (CBT, ACT), mindfulness, creative arts, and trauma-informed care. Before my training as a social worker, I studied painting, photography, and creative writing and hold a Bachelors in Fine Arts.
I believe that every person who steps into therapy deserves to be treated with respect, kindness, and care. My ultimate goal as a therapist is to help those I work with to become the best version of themselves by working through their personal experiences, cultural differences, trauma, and life transitions. I strive to help each person develop the tools and skills they need to overcome their difficulties.

Meet Katie, who has been adding her expertise to AMK for nearly a year now! For Katie, happiness is synonymous with moments spent with her family.
When it comes to coffee, Katie enjoys a delightful Caramel Almond Iced Coffee, adding a touch of sweetness to her workday routine.
Outside of work, Katie is eager to rekindle her connection with literature, aiming to revive her reading habits in the evenings.
Meet Kristie, an invaluable member of the billing department for the last two years! Coffee? A vanilla latte for a special occasion but on a standard day, she opts for black with almond milk at home.
Kristie’s cinematic heart has a soft spot for anything Disney and Pixar. Yet, her ultimate joy lies in spontaneous moments with her kids, especially when cuddled on the couch, sharing a good book aloud.
Outside of work, Kristie finds joy in singing, dancing and baking…and is extra happy when she can seamlessly combine all three!
Meet Mary, our Director of Billing who has been with AMK for 4 years. Her happiest moments are found spending time with family or heading to the movies…romantic comedies hold a special place in her heart.
In terms of beverages, Mary doesn’t lean towards coffee or tea. Surprisingly, she’s never set foot in a Starbucks, despite her grandkids’ enthusiastic endorsement of their cake pops.
Mary is your go-to in regards to billing, she is patient and understands that there can be a lot of questions when it comes to insurance, finances, billing, etc. She is here to help!
