As a mental health counselor I am here to support you, be sympathetic and non-judgmental through your journey. Life can be challenging and at times all we need is compassion and a safe place to express ourself. I work with my patients and meet them where they are and help them focus on the areas that they identify that needs change or maintenance. Seeking clients to fill daytime slots currently. Evening timeslots are full at this time. Teletherapy appointments available for individuals 16 and older.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

During our first session we will start building a rapport and review the paperwork you submitted. We will then dive into your issues that you want to address in therapy and build a plan together.

The treatment methods and tools I utilize

The majority of my patients struggle with anxiety, depression, self-injury, self-esteem, school problems, and ADHD. I help my patients through mindfulness base therapy to change their thinking patterns, change their mindset and their intrusive thoughts/ thinking, through CBT, positive thinking, and meditation.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

With a positive psychology mindset and a strengths based perspective I focus on resolving past experiences that negatively influence emotion and behavior. By creating and nurturing healthy communication I will assist you in finding your voice in situations of anxiety, self-esteem, marital struggles, identity crisis, anger management, and more.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I specialize in anxiety, depression, self-injury, self-esteem, school problems and ADHD. I help my patients through mindfulness base therapy to change their thinking patterns, change their mindset and their intrusive thoughts/ thinking, through CBT, DBT, positive thinking, meditation and Solution Focus Therapy. I know first hand how difficult life can be with all the different demands and expectations we sometimes put on ourselves. With the high demands of community, family, school and career. I can teach you healthy boundaries and habits that will help you be more present and protect your mental health.

Amelia has been an absolute godsend to helping me with my mental health! I wish I could rate her 100 stars! She cares about her clients. She is also one who stays on you about your routine (something I definitely need reminding about). I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a therapist
