I have worked with Amy for a few weeks which isn’t a long time, but I feel comfortable in chatting with her. We have a couple of things in common so I think that is really going to help.

As a licensed therapist in New York, I bring over two decades of professional experience supporting individuals through life's complex challenges. My practice centers on helping clients navigate stress, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and personal growth. I specialize in addressing issues like self-esteem, communication challenges, social anxiety, and interpersonal conflicts.
My approach is compassionate and holistic, focusing on understanding each client's unique journey. I have extensive expertise in supporting women, young adults, and individuals experiencing transitions such as pregnancy, career changes, and midlife shifts. My therapeutic style emphasizes self-love, healing from past experiences, and developing meaningful strategies for personal empowerment.
I am committed to creating a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their emotions, challenge limiting beliefs, and cultivate resilience. Whether you're struggling with relationship issues, workplace stress, or seeking deeper self-understanding, I'm dedicated to walking alongside you with empathy and professional guidance.
Please let us talk once prior to scheduling a session.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Amy is great, she really listens to you and offers a different perspective to issues you come to session with. Highly recommend!
I have worked with Amy for a few weeks which isn’t a long time, but I feel comfortable in chatting with her. We have a couple of things in common so I think that is really going to help.
Amy is an angel. I am so thankful to BetterHelp for connecting me with such a capable, kind, positive person! She is a great listener and really cares about me. Her advice and loving nature has made an enormous difference in my life. I was very nervous about starting therapy, but Amy made me feel at ease immediately. I initially began this journey to navigate anxiety and past traumas. Weeks later, I was unexpectedly diagnosed with a life-altering illness. Amy was there to support me in what became one of the most difficult experiences of my life. Her help went beyond our weekly sessions. One week, I told her that I was getting stressed out about some issues with my medical treatments and insurance: long story short, some complicated paperwork and unhelpful insurance agents were standing in the way of urgent medical procedures that I really needed. Without hesitation, Amy offered to make calls to my doctor and insurance on my behalf. With her experience in the healthcare industry, she was able to successfully advocate for me, and I am now fast-tracked to getting a life-changing procedure! I could not have untangled these emotional or practical issues on my own. Thank you Amy for helping me in so many ways! I highly recommend her for any patient looking for someone who really cares. It feels so wonderful to have someone who is in my corner. Amy is simply the best!
She is very friendly with a soft approach. With more sensitive issues she strongly gives the impression of the “deep listener.”
I appreciate her communication style. She is a great listener. I feel heard.
