You're wondering if the sacrifice is worth it.

The to-do list doesn’t end, and you can't stop thinking about it. Nights you lay awake, mind racing. It may be affecting your body, leading to chronic tension or pain. You wonder if you'll ever be able to unplug or take a vacation where you actually relax. Sometimes you wonder What is this all for?

The stress is leading to behavior you’re not proud of.

You’ve always been productive, but now you can’t stop procrastinating. Maybe you’re doomscrolling, eating, or drinking more than you’d like. In the moment, numbing feels like the only option, but it isn’t actually restful. Afterwards you beat yourself up. You hate being so out of control.

Your relationships are suffering.

Maybe work makes it hard to be present with the people you love. You’re missing time away from your family- time you’ll never get back. You’re more irritable, and it’s straining your relationships. You may have lashed out at your spouse or kids, something you told yourself you’d never do.

You're tired of no one seeing the real you.

Others see you as helpful, passionate, and excellent in your role, but there’s more to you than that. They don’t know how hard it is to be “on” when all you want to do is slump over your desk, exhausted. Prioritizing others has helped make you successful, but you often do things you don’t want to do.

ONLINE THERAPY BASED IN VIRGINIA BEACH, VA AND SERVING CLIENTS ACROSS VA & FL.

You love your work, but it’s costing more than you expected.

Whether in healthcare or running your own business, you worked hard to build a career you’re proud of. You invested years of time, energy, and education to get here. In many ways, it’s paid off.

And yet, you’re almost always on edge. You thought when you got your license or hit a major career milestone, you’d get to slow down and enjoy the fruits of your labor. Instead, you’re as stressed you were when you started. Relationships feel uneven, and you’re frustrated with your family, colleagues, or business partner.

MAYBE:

You can't keep going like this, but you don't want to walk away.

HI, I'M AMY.

You take care of a lot. This is a space just for you.

You're the person others count on- both inside and outside of work. Your career is rewarding, exhilarating, meaningful… and exhausting. You might be reeling from a falling out with a business partner, balancing work with a new health diagnosis, struggling in your marriage, or tired of running on adrenaline.

You’re in the right place, and you don’t have to figure this out alone.

As an Internal Family Systems therapist, I help you quiet the anxiety, feel more connected in your relationships, say “no” without fear or guilt, and reconnect with parts of your life that aren’t defined by responsibility or pressure. I believe every part of you is here for good reason, and developing an awareness of what’s happening inside you is the key to healing.

SPECIALTIES:

You carry the weight of your business, and that gets heavy. Maybe you’re tired of pushing past your limits, and you’re ready to build a life that works for you. Maybe you can’t enjoy success because you're so worried you could still lose everything. Or maybe the qualities that help you thrive in your business are destroying your personal relationships. I work with you to understand and break the patterns underlying these dynamics so that you run your business and your life from a place of clarity, balance, and connection.

You entered this field to help others, but now it’s draining you. Maybe despite years of training and education, you still can’t shake the imposter syndrome. Maybe you feel trapped in a system that’s working against you and your patients. Or maybe you’re realizing that your care for others often comes at your own expense, and you’re ready to have your needs met for once. I work with you to understand and overcome the internal and external barriers that are holding you back, so that you have what you need to care for yourself and your patients more fully.

IFS is an evidenced based therapy that helps you connect with and nurture different parts of yourself. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, people pleasing, perfectionism, or anger, we get curious about what parts of you are taking over, and what parts of you have been ignored or cut off. Together, we get to know your parts, exploring where they came from and how they operate, and healing wounded or traumatized parts. This deep work helps your mind and body feel more calm and integrated, so that you- not your parts- run the show.

Finding the right therapist makes all the difference. Here's how it works:

1

Reach Out

Schedule your free 20 minute consultation. On this call, we can discuss what’s bringing you to therapy and I’ll answer any questions you have about working together. If you feel like we’re the right fit, we’ll schedule our first session.

2

Work With Me

In weekly sessions, we’ll explore what’s been weighing on you and the unconscious patterns that keep you stuck. You’ll develop more self compassion as you start to understand why you do what you do, and you’ll start to practice doing things differently.

3

Feel the Difference

As our work deepens, you’ll notice a gradual shift. The inner battle softens, and your anxiety and self doubt get quieter. Creativity and passion return, and it shows in your work. You have more space for joy, rest, and you’re more present with the people you love.
