Hi, I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor ( LMHC) located in Naples FL. I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. My goal is facilitating the growth of my clients through self-awareness, empowerment, and strength-based techniques. I am an empathetic and experienced therapist that provides a safe and nurturing environment where you can heal and grow on your journey. Specialization in ADHD, behavioral issues, teen issues, PTSD/Trauma, Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence, First Responder's , Community trauma, depression,anxiety, substance abuse, self esteem issues. I use many modalities including but not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ( CBT) and Person-Centered Therapy. I believe in meeting my clients where they are at and I look forward to speaking with anyone ready to begin the process of therapy.
During our first session I will gather a history as well as get to know who you are and what has brought you into therapy. We will develop goals for treatment during this session.
I feel I am a very compassionate and empathetic counselor who loves to challenge and guide clients through change, healing and progress.
I love working with all ages and most issues or concerns. I have extensive experience and enjoy working with first responders. I enjoy working with children struggling with emotional dysregualtion , teens dealing with self harm and SI. As well as anyone dealing with depression, anxiety, OCD, life transitions, self esteem etc.

I’ve only been working with Amanda for a few weeks, but the progress I’ve already made has been incredible. She creates a safe, supportive space where I feel truly heard and understood. Her guidance is practical, compassionate, and tailored to my needs, and I leave each session feeling lighter and more hopeful. I’m so grateful for the positive impact she has had in such a short time.

I followed Amanda from my last practice. She’s always been an easy person to open up and share … for me, it’s incredibly difficult to be vulnerable. Amanda relates and helps me open up. She’s the best!

I am so happy that Amanda is my therapist. Today was my first session, and I feel a great weight lifted off my shoulders. Looking forward to working with her.
