With decades of experience and advanced training in Relational–Cultural Therapy, Amy is especially  passionate about offering Relational-Cultural therapy for therapists, supporting clinicians who want to deepen their relational work, move beyond manualized approaches, and practice therapy grounded in mutuality, authenticity, and connection.

Relational-Cultural Therapy for therapists is particularly helpful because it invites therapists into connection, not performance.

In growth-fostering relationships, both therapist and client are changed in ways that increase vitality, understanding, and sense of worth. This mutuality shifts therapy from something therapists give, into something they co-create.

Over time, this creates a different kind of sustainability; one rooted in connection, rather than unidirectional giving (which gets exhausting!).

Amy provides RCT-informed clinical supervision, consultation, and training for therapists, as well as relational therapy for individuals, couples, and families. Many therapists seek out her work for its depth, honesty, and commitment to practicing RCT in real relationship, not just theory. Experiencing this growth-fostering relationship impacts therapists' work with their own clients.

Amy is passionate about sharing RCT's transformative principles through clinical supervision, workshops, and training for therapists, organizations, and communities. She offers team-based relational support for families, couples, and organizations as well as individual relational-cultural therapy in Bloomington, Indiana.

Amy is dedicated to supporting the growth of therapists through Relational–Cultural supervision that centers mutual learning, supported vulnerability, and relational awareness. She co-facilitates the Psychotherapy Affinity Group with the International Center for Growth in Connection and offers ongoing consultation through BCC’s clinician membership community.

She has led workshops and trainings on topics including ethics of care, connection through play, RCT and gender diversity, and applying Relational–Cultural Theory in social justice work.

Amy has presented alongside Dr. Maureen Walker, Dr. Amy Banks, Dr. Dolores Finger Wright, and Dr. Meenaxi Palaniappan, including at the Relational Summit 2024 Playful Connections in Bloomington, Indiana.

Her additional presentations include the Aurora University Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Speaker Series and the Renfrew Conference, as well as contributions to the International Center for Growth in Connection Colloquia.

Amy earned her Master of Social Work (MSW) from Tulane University in 1995 and has spent her career developing relational approaches to healing that extend beyond individual symptom reduction.

Her work centers the belief that people grow through and toward connection. In therapy, Amy creates spaces for supported vulnerability, where clients and therapists alike can engage in meaningful, growth-fostering relationships that challenge isolation, shame, and disconnection.

In addition to supervision and consultation, Amy offers relational therapy for individuals, couples, and families, as well as team-based approaches for those seeking deeper, systemic support.

Her work often attracts:

• Therapists seeking their own therapy or consultation
• Individuals looking for relational, non-manualized therapy
• Families and couples wanting support that includes both individual and systemic perspectives

Amy is committed to ongoing learning, anti-oppressive practice, and building communities grounded in connection. Her work extends into training, consultation, and the development of relational spaces that support both healing and social change.
