Online therapy for individuals in Florida and Illinois
You’ve achieved so much in your career, family, and relationships. From the outside, it looks like success. And in many ways, it is.
You wouldn’t call what you’re experiencing a midlife crisis. You’re not falling apart—you’re functional and even enjoy parts of your life.
But deep down, something feels off.
There’s a sense of disconnection, like you’ve lost parts of yourself along the way.
Maybe a recent shift—a health issue, family changes, or new responsibilities—has left you feeling unsettled. Work, once a source of pride, might now feel overwhelming or unfulfilling. Changes or challenges within your family—whether with children, parents, or siblings—can feel especially stressful.
Any of these shifts could be stirring up pain tied to loss or past experiences you thought you’d moved past.
It feels heavy—tension in your body, constant fatigue, or symptoms you can’t explain like sudden migraines, digestive issues, or physical pain that doesn’t have a cause.
You’ve worked hard to push through, but it’s getting harder to ignore the questions about your priorities, what really matters, and how to move forward.
It doesn’t have to stay this way.
With therapy that incorporates mind and body, we’ll make space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and the ways you’ve learned to cope – especially as life shifts and priorities change.
If you're at an age where you're approaching (or settling into) midlife, then there's a good chance you were taught to ignore your body and only focus on your thoughts, but... but making space for all of you—your emotions, body, and mind—allows for deeper understanding and the clarity to move forward.
If it feels right, we can also use tools like Somatic Experiencing or Safe and Sound Protocol to ease tension and create a sense of connection, helping you navigate life’s challenges with balance and strength.

Hi, I’m Amy!
You’re carrying a lot—old emotions, physical strain, and the weight of everyone depending on you. It’s not always easy to slow down and notice how much it’s all adding up. But lately, it’s been harder to ignore.
The tension, exhaustion, or unsettled feeling creeping in might have caught you off guard.
Maybe it feels tied to the shifts in your life, like family changes, caregiving, or new challenges at work. Or maybe it’s something harder to define, like wondering if the way you’ve been moving through life still works for you—or the resurfacing of old wounds that haven’t fully healed.
This is where I come in.
Together, we’ll create a space to understand what’s showing up for you—emotionally, physically, and in your relationships—and uncover what you need to move forward in a way that feels true to you and what matters most.

Find Relief and Resilience with Therapy that Incorporates Mind and Body
Somatic Therapy, or therapy with a mind-body focus, offers a space to process what you’re going through now—and what you’ve been through before. It’s about creating room to explore your thoughts and feelings while also noticing how your body responds.
You decide how much the body is part of our work together, whether it’s simply paying attention to sensations as they arise or diving deeper with approaches like Somatic Experiencing or Safe and Sound Protocol.
This flexibility means we can go all in with body-based work, like SE or SSP, or incorporate gentle noticing of what’s happening in your body as part of the process. Together, we’ll explore what’s keeping you stuck and uncover what you need to feel more connected to yourself and what truly matters.
