Is this you?
Are you tired of saying the words "I'm okay", but not feeling them?
Are you ready to stop just talking and start healing?
Many of us feel disconnected and unable to function effectively in life and with the people around us. Whether this feeling is rooted in traumatic experiences, no matter big T or little t, overall holistic wellness is possible. This includes emotional processing with behavioral action steps to treat the mind, body, and soul as one unit!
Our work together will help you find inner peace and confidence with yourself and others around you.

- Break patterns of e.g. codependency or self sabotaging behaviors
- Communicate in a way where you feel seen, heard, and understood

- Deepen physical and emotional intimacy by the implementation of healthy boundaries
- Navigate the sometimes difficult dynamics with family, friends, or colleagues who have little to no understanding of your unique experience
Hi, I'm Amy.
My passion is helping the unnoticed. The people that don’t fit into the societal norm of what American life must look like. The ones who’s childhood, identity, or way of thinking always seems to be different from others.
As a Cognitive-Holistic Therapist who has been working in the mental health field since 2015, I understand the importance of viewing my clients as a whole individuals and not as their identity, sexual orientation, trauma, or life circumstances. I focus on all 8 dimensions of wellness (emotional, physical, occupational, intellectual, financial, social, environmental, spiritual/mindset) for a holistic approach. I combine this with evidenced-based practices; such as CPT for Trauma and Parts Work for Identify/Self-exploration.
I'm a direct and action-focused therapist who uses talking as a tool and not as a full framework for therapy.
I'm also a proud multi-racial female therapist, and a dog mom, and I'm recently married to my beautiful wife in 2023.
Let's connect!

Area of Expertise
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) looks at the impact a traumatic event has had on one’s life and helps examine and change unhelpful thoughts and feelings related to the event, one’s self, others, and the world. An important part of treatment is addressing ways of thinking that might keep an individual “stuck” and get in the way of recovery from symptoms of PTSD and other problems.
The three goals of CPT are:
Reflect
• Improve your understanding about PTSD
• Examine the impact of the trauma on thoughts and feelings
• Decrease avoidance and emotional numbing
Redefine
• Learn skills to evaluate thinking
• Consider alternative viewpoints of the trauma, oneself and the world.
Recover
• Reduce your level of distress related to your memories of the trauma
• Reduce feelings of anxiety, anger, guilt and shame
• Improve day-to-day living
I'm here for you.
Here at Butterfly Therapeutics we step into the uncomfortable change in order to experience the true emotional transformation of healing. The goal is to help individuals in developing a deeper understanding of themselves, their past, their needs and how to effectively communicate this with others. Evidenced-based treatment is combined with holistic framework to tailor therapy to what you are individually seeking.
