Hello, I'm Amanda, Have you been struggling with the challenges of life lately? Do you feel like you are in a constant state of survival? Do you want to start living? Are you looking to approach life with a new lens? I help individuals take control of their lives whether they are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, difficult emotions or life events. I provide a safe and judgement free space to make you as comfortable as possible. We will work together to explore what is helpful and what is not. I understand that everyone is different and believe that is most important when providing therapy. Whether you have been to therapy several times before or this is your first time, I look forward to experiencing your growth with you.
Our first session includes me getting to know you and what brought you to meet with me. I hope to make you feel comfortable to share and grow with me.
I like to utilize a variety of treatment methods and tools because everyone is different. I believe that a helpful skill or theory for one person may not be most appropriate for another. It is my role to help you explore the different tools to help you. I use treatment methods and tools from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, person-centered, behavioral, mindfulness, and narrative therapy.
One of my biggest strengths is adapting to my client's needs. I am here to help you and that is my top priority as your therapist. I advocate and encourage.

She’s consistently warm, welcoming, and always in a great mood, which sets the tone for every session. She’s helped me navigate both mental and physical barriers with compassion and insight. What sets her apart is how deeply she cares. She remembers the small details about my life that make me feel seen and understood. She’s incredibly intelligent and has ability to adapt to whatever I bring into the room, whether it’s a crisis or a quiet reflection. I’m so grateful for her guidance and support.
