Why You Should Choose My Courses

Through decades of work as a therapist and my personal recovery journey, it is my life’s passion to help others heal!  Everything I teach, I do and I have designed these courses to:

Turn Awareness Into Power

Empower you to look within and identify the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that are getting in the way of your living as you aspire to.

Learn, Reflect, Transform

I will share psychoeducation, stories, journaling prompts, practical tools, and actionable steps, that will help you shift your mindset, break old patterns, and transform your life.

Create Change That Sticks

Provide you with the insights and techniques you can come back to again and again to create lasting change that will allow you to live with more freedom, self-love, authenticity, and personal power.

What to expect with the full course:

Featuring 8 insightful modules with videos, advice, and printable worksheets that delve deep to help you learn, take action, and break free!

Understanding 
the Anorexic Mindset

Learn how perfectionism, control, and emotional withdrawal shape your thoughts and behaviors — often without you realizing it. You'll begin to see how these patterns affect your relationships, choices, and self-worth.

Challenge the Beliefs That Keep You Stuck

Identify the inner critic and distorted thought loops that fuel shame and self-denial. Then, with Amy's guidance, start to break free from them using reflection, curiosity, and compassion.

Practice New Ways of 
Thinking and Feeling

You’ll be guided through exercises and journaling prompts that help you create a mindset based on self-trust, flexibility, and joy. This isn’t about “fixing” you — it’s about finally feeling free.


Create Daily Rituals That Support the Real You

You’ll build on small, meaningful practices to stay connected to your authentic self — not the version of you that’s always chasing approval, thinness, or control.
