I'm a licensed psychologist in Portland, OR. My current work involves promoting resilience for families, healthcare entities, schools, businesses and individuals. I am a keynote speaker, consultant, coach and mentor to families, healthcare leaders, teachers and businesses. I speak and train on local and national levels. I am endorsed in early childhood mental health and pediatric health.

I developed a curriculum called Cards for Connection© created especially for professionals that work with children and families. My work enhances relational health, resilience through relationships and social emotional capacity by training professionals that impact the lives of children.

My team and I would love to hear from you and provide a customized experience for your organization or business.

Amy’s workshop was mind blowing. There were so many practical things that no one has ever said to me and I’ve never read anywhere. Too many times, speakers are too perfect and haven’t dealt with the any of the things they are presenting. Amy is real.
