Work With Me
Whether you're navigating anxiety, healing from the past, or simply exhausted from carrying it all — this is where we begin. Together.
Who I Work With
I work with adults navigating a wide range of life experiences — you don't have to have the "right" problem to deserve support.
Your mind rarely quiets. You replay conversations, catastrophise, and struggle to be present — even when life looks fine on paper.
Something from before still shows up now — in your reactions, relationships, and body. You're ready to understand it and move forward.
You find yourself in the same patterns with people you love. You want deeper connection, better communication, or help navigating conflict.
Your relationship with food and your body feels complicated, exhausting, or out of control. You want to heal — without judgment.
You're functioning, but running on empty. Everything feels heavy — rest doesn't restore you the way it used to.
Parenthood, divorce, career shifts, grief, relocation — the ground feels unsteady and you're not sure who you are in this new chapter.
The Process
Starting therapy can feel daunting. Here's exactly what to expect, step by step.
We begin with a complimentary call — no pressure, no commitment. You share what's going on, I share how I work, and together we decide if we're a good fit. This is your space to ask anything.
Our first full session is a deeper exploration. I'll learn about your history, your goals, and what brings you here. There's no pressure to share everything at once — we move at your pace.
Together we'll set clear, meaningful goals and identify the approaches best suited to you — whether that's CBT, trauma-focused work, DBT, or relational therapy. This is always collaborative.
Most clients meet weekly via secure video call. Each session builds on the last. You'll begin to notice shifts — in how you think, feel, respond, and relate — often sooner than you'd expect.
We regularly revisit your goals and adapt. When you feel ready to conclude, we close thoughtfully — with a clear sense of what you've built and how to continue growing on your own.
My Approach
I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. You are a whole, complex person — and your therapy should reflect that. I draw from a range of evidence-based modalities and weave them together thoughtfully, guided by what you need most.
My sessions are warm and collaborative. I bring curiosity, honesty, and genuine investment to every session. You will never feel rushed, judged, or like just another appointment in my day.

"Before I started therapy with Dr. Amaya, I felt like I was drowning in my own thoughts. In just a few sessions, I felt seen for the first time in years. It's like a weight has been lifted."
"Dr. Amaya helped me face it gently, without judgment. For the first time, I felt heard and understood — not fixed. I'm learning to let go and feel like myself again."
"Sessions with Dr. Amaya gave me a safe space to untangle my feelings and regain confidence. I feel calmer, more grounded, and ready to show up for myself."
