Welcome! I'm Amanda. I'm here to help you tackle the issues that drag you down; the concerns that keep you up at night; the fears that are holding you back. If you feel unfocused, uncertain, unmotivated, or misunderstood, you've come to the right place! I'm proud of you for taking the first big step toward self-improvement. I would love to schedule a session to learn about your unique challenges, your aspirations, and your goals for therapy.
We will use our first session to become acquainted with one another. Together we will explore your background, identify your current challenges, define your counseling goals, and discuss treatment options.
I have seven years of clinical experience as a counselor working in both inpatient and outpatient settings. As an Army brat I moved frequently during my childhood before settling down in Alabama, which helped me to understand and appreciate cultural and subcultural diversity. My approach to therapy is eclectic and tailored to support each client’s unique needs, abilities, and goals. In addition to counseling I work in the community as Chronic Disorganization Specialist, helping people to reduce clutter and chaos in their homes.
My ideal clients include: -Young adults seeking support as they explore their identities, set professional and/or educational goals, and deal with challenges in their relationships -Mothers and fathers navigating parenting and partnership challenges -Individuals experiencing "existential crises" or spiritual discomfort -Anyone struggling with symptoms of ADHD or mood disorders such as depression, bipolar disorder, PMDD, seasonal affective disorder, or cyclothymia.

I believe people are inherently good, and that everyone has potential for self-reflection and growth. Understanding how a client's unique experiences shape their worldview is an intregal part of effective therapy. I aim to provide empathetic, holistic, strengths-based treatment for every client, no matter what other treatment methods are included in their treatment plan.
Incorporating techniques and concepts from DBT often benefits clients who are dealing with depression, substance abuse disorder, mood disorders, anxiety, and ADHD. Adolescents may especially benefit from gaining skills from DBT.
Always eager to share Yalom's wisdom, I recommend this approach for high-functioning clients who are troubled by existential issues. Using this approach we work together to tackle concerns such as death, freedom, and the meaning of life, while aiming to promote healing and personal fulfillment.
This short-term approach is ideal for clients who want to create change pragmatically and efficiently. Emphasis is put on finding solutions to present problems, as well as exploring future aspirations.

What a great first visit. I was grateful to talk with a woman who is clear & concise, sets expectations up front and who gives a little homework - I need help towards my goals.
