Welcome! I’m Amanda, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor dedicated to walking alongside individuals on their healing journey. I take an integrative, holistic approach to therapy, emphasizing collaboration and authenticity in building a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship. With a Bachelor’s in Communication and a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Dayton, I’ve worked with children, adolescents, and adults in both youth day treatment and outpatient settings. My experience includes helping clients navigate trauma, mood and anxiety disorders, psychosis, life transitions, peer and family relationship issues. I’m especially passionate about supporting those processing religious, racial, and sexual trauma, and I strive to create inclusive, affirming spaces for clients from the Neurodiverse, Black, and LGBTQIA+ communities. I incorporate creative psychoeducation to engage clients meaningfully and empower them toward growth and healing. Thank you for being here. I look forward to the opportunity to support you. Peace be with you.
In our first session together we will establish rapport, focus on your needs and how I can best support you in your healing journey. Don’t worry if we don’t get everything in the first session, I will continue to clarify and gather background information in the next session to support creating an aligned treatment plan for you. If my standard fee presents a financial barrier, I welcome a conversation about available reduced-fee options.
Clients respond to my natural ability to provide a warm inviting space, allowing them to bring their full authentic selves. Clients often report they feel so comfortable, that time moves quickly and are shocked that the session hour has ended. I use an integrative holistic approach to therapy, because each person is unique and their journey to healing is their own.
My ideal client is someone whom is ready to meet themselves fully. That despite the discomfort that comes with the healing process, they are ready to sit with those difficult feelings in a supportive safe environment and allow me to journey with them through the discomfort and into a wholly, grounded, centered self.

Made me feel welcome and comfortable immediately, ecstatic to have someone who treats me as a person who needs help, not a problem to solve.

For her to have been the first person, I have spoke to outside of my normal counselor in years, I’m truly blessed to have found her on growth therapy’s website! If you want somebody who is not judgmental and is very sympathetic and empathetic, however builds you up and helps you know you’re worth and that you are worth something. You really need to give her a shot! I’d recommend her to everybody!! She is also extremely friendly and very nice!
