About Amy
Amy received her Masters and Ed.M degrees from Columbia University, Teachers College in Psychological Counseling. Through this rigorous graduate program, Amy developed greater multicultural sensitivity and a heightened self awareness.

Amy’s Core Belief
Surrendering worn out beliefs and using everything, especially "failure", has the power to create a rich, textured life. It’s from our pain points that the light of our character emerges. Each new moment is a fresh offering… an opportunity to choose a new path. Recycle your experiences…Look for ways to use it all — turning it into gold and then share it with the world.
“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom. ”
Testimonials
"A year and a half into running my business full time and it is thriving and growing... I have hired 2 part-time assistants, formed an LLC and have gotten a lot of press for my work. Amy helped me to counter some fears and doubts I had about going from an identity as a person to an identity as a business"

From a talented artist and Visual Designer I worked with mid-career:
"My work with Amy helped unlock my desire to find work that is more authentic to who I am. Through her sessions, exercises, homework and valuable insights I identified a set of values that defines the work I want to do going forward. Her approach is both practical and spiritual. It has helped me establish a priceless daily meditation practice. I find myself interviewing potential employers for work vs just being interviewed by them. Their set of values is now as important to me as my skill set and my contribution is to their business. This new sense of clarity and empowerment is a valuable tool for me as I both reimagine my current design career and explore new more creative income-generating endeavors like painting and declutter coaching. Amy has helped me see work and career through a more rewarding lens." ~ Debbie Meisenzahl, Artist and Visual Designer specializing in websites
From a 60 year-old dynamo who found and married her life partner after our collaboration:
"I felt a connection with Amy the first time I met her...My life has changed beyond my wildest dreams. I am grateful to her for planting the seed for lifetime growth."
