About me

Hey there, my name is Amelia, By taking a compassionate and warm approach, I help my clients heal from the past and make meaningful change in the present. My priority is to build authentic, honest relationships with my clients. Through building a trusting relationship, my hope is that you feel comfortable to explore your emotions and unpack past experiences that may be hindering you in your present life. I believe therapy should be engaging, supportive, and responsive.

Get to know me

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

Through working together, I help my clients understand their story, gain freedom from their past, and move toward a more fulfilling life. I believe that you are the expert on yourself, and I am here to listen, help foster personal growth and alleviate suffering. You can expect me to be warm and kind, but also extremely intentional in learning about your life. I approach every session with open-mindedness and curiosity, asking lots of questions and listening intently to make sure I can provide the best recommendations possible. Most clients report learning something new about themselves or their relationship within the first session.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I strive to help people cultivate courage and self-empowerment in the midst of an unpredictable world. We cannot control the challenges that we face, but we can control how we process our pain and tap into our own resilience.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

If you find yourself stuck, lost, scattered, and maybe hopeless. Your problems don't need to define your whole life. You can find peace, clarity, hope, courage, and freedom. I'd love to be part of that process with you. In my sessions my goal is to help you feel safe to laugh, cry, scream, and all the things in between. Starting your therapeutic journey can be hard and scary, but you will never be alone in the process. Psychotherapy isn't always easy - but the therapeutic process allows many rich opportunities for personal growth. There is hope, and therapy can help.

My treatment methods

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

Depending on what someone is going through and their specific goals, I use ACT specifically to help a person accept their thoughts and feelings rather than eliminate them. This encourages a person to value acceptance and the importance of living in line with their values. ACT helps a person identify those values and commit to actions that align with those values, even in the prescence of difficult thoughts or emotions.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

CBT is goal-oriented therapy, which is a good fit for every person. No matter what they're going through. I love using CBT to help identify a negative thought pattern and change that thought pattern and behavior that can contribute to emotional distress. CBT helps to challenge and reframe negative beliefs and develop more adaptive ways of thinking and behaving.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

I like to incorporate Mindfulness Based Therapy into my practice. It is a therapeutic approach that brings in mindfulness practices such as meditation, breathing exercises, and self-awareness techniques to help individuals become more present in the moment and develop a non-judgemental awareness of their thoughts. emotions, and sensations.

Strength-Based

Emphasis on identifying and building upon the strengths and positive qualities of the client. This approach helps to see people as inherently capable individuals who have the capacity to overcome challenges and improve their lives. By using this approach, we will as a team identify strengths, values, skills, and resources to develop strategies for positive change and work towards achieving your desired outcome.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

Solution Focused Brief Treatment is a goal oriented and future focused therapy approach that aims to help clients identify and work towards solutions rather than focusing on problems. We will envision your desired future and identify what is already working well and develop specific actionable steps to move closer to your goals.

It was a good first session! She helped me focused on the main problems I want to tackle instead of letting things jumble around. Excited for the next session.

Amelia was incredibly kind and understanding throughout our session. She took the time to really listen to both of us and made sure each of our perspectives were heard. Her thoughtful approach and the solutions she offered gave us helpful tools to work through some of our challenges. I truly appreciate her support and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for guidance in their relationship.
