Dr. Amie Harwick was a prominent marriage and family therapist in Los Angeles, California. Her ambition and innate desire to help people elevated her into the upper echelons of Hollywood society, and she built a thriving career and vibrant social life for herself. But behind the scenes, Amie had struggled for years with the looming threat of a man whose obsession ultimately manifested Amie's worst nightmares into her reality.

In the early hours of February 15th, 2020, after attending a Valentine's Day burlesque show with her friends, Amie Harwick was attacked in her Los Angeles home and ultimately succumbed to her injuries. Amie's story paints a picture of a brilliant, successful, confident woman who had built a beautiful life for herself, and highlights the importance of education about domestic violence and stalking, and how current laws do not strive to protect victims or prevent tragedy.
