“Amy is an incredibly supportive, knowledgeable, encouraging and inspiring social worker and supervisor. She consistently demonstrates a commitment to social work values through her interactions with clients and her supervision. From the beginning of my time as an intern, she emphasized the importance of human relationships in her actions and her words. She is genuinely a caring person, visible through her caring and warm interactions with clients and staff. When I was unsure about my own skills and ability to work with a new population, she reminded me of the simple and profound importance of building relationships and valuing the dignity and worth of each client. Amy is consistent, reliable and competent. She helps me frame issues in community mental health on a larger context of social justice, and to make connections between the micro and the macro. She truly embodies integrity, as a clinician and as a person, demonstrating her commitment to these values in all of her interactions. I have truly appreciated her insight and her encouragement in our supervision sessions. She inspires me to think in new ways and to grow as a social worker and a person.”
