Hey! I’m Amy
I am a psychologist, a mom of two, and I love helping women find their confidence and thrive in motherhood.
My two daughters are the lights of my life, but they have also revealed wounds and challenges far greater than I ever expected. I’ve learned that my daughters and my own high sensitivity is both our blessing and our curse, and needs to be navigated with care. I’ve journeyed through burnout, shame, tears, and rage, learning along the way how to protect my energy while continuing to show up for my family in the ways that matter most. I’ve learned to remain calm while parenting my neurospicy daughter and to advocate for her needs without doubt. I’ve learned to give myself compassion when I mess up. I’ve learned to make sense of my own upbringing and to understand the coping mechanisms and patterns that once protected me, were no longer serving me in my own parenting journey. But most importantly, I’ve learned to love them and myself with such a deep intensity that it almost hurts.
