Hi and welcome to the first step in your healing journey. I understand that taking this first step can be difficult, but it is courageous and I'm here to support you on your journey. I have 15 years of experience in the mental health field working with adults, adolescents, children, and families with a wide range of mental health needs including anxiety, trauma, depression, grief and loss, parenting, and life stressors. My diverse background equips me to help people in different stages of life with a variety of needs. I truly enjoy working with children but I have a general belief that in-person care is the best option. I have treatment specific interest in treating anxiety disorders and the inevitable complications with daily life struggles that develop with anxiety-based symptoms. Anxiety is often linked to events that were experienced as traumatic or confusing in childhood or during our adult lives. I believe that everyone is unique as well as their life experiences therefore treatment interventions need to be individualized.
The first session is simply getting to know you and gaining an understanding of why you are seeking therapy. Together we will decide if we are a good fit. We will talk about goals or brainstorm alternative treatment options based on your therapeutic needs.
I value empathy and connection in the healing process. I believe that a trusting, therapeutic relationship is essential in creating a safe space for you to be able to talk about emotionally painful things, gain insight, and find paths toward healing and personal growth. I would describe my style as empathetic, supportive, and laid-back. I am also comfortable with incorporating a Biblical worldview into the therapeutic process if it is something that you value.
Teens, young women, anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, parenting struggles, children- home and school issues

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
My experience with CBT has involved helping people make efforts to change thinking patterns. Strategies have included recognizing cognitive distortions that are creating problems and then to process them in real time. Through the use of CBT interventions, I can also help people gain a better understanding of the behavior and motivation of others.

I like that she gave me advice in my situation. She mentioned medicine but said to think about it

Amanda's super nice and understanding. I enjoyed out session, she seems really easy to talk to. I'm hoping to get to know her better and open up even more to her, so she can try to do what she can to help me get over some things or just get past them.
