About me

Are you seeking a therapist who truly listens and understands? For over 15 years I have provided care, focused on the personal needs and concerns of my clients. If you are managing sadness/depression, worries/anxiety, relationship issues, or struggling to adjust to new circumstances (i.e., retirement, new/worsening medical condition, grief/loss, separation/divorce, etc.), I would love to partner with you! I utilize a variety of therapeutic modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral, Cognitive Restructuring, Acceptance/Commitment, and others to support YOU!

Get to know me

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

During our first session, I will get to know you, your past, your present and where you want to go for your future. We will discuss your current circumstances and goals for working with me through therapy. This first session gives me the opportunity to connect with you, answer any questions you may have, and set the path for how we will work together going forward. I utilize a patient-centered approach and as your circumstances and needs change, we will adjust our plan and path forward to meet where you are currently.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I bring a compassionate, strength-based and person-centered approach to therapy. I am energetic and passionate about the work I do and care about the clients I serve. My approach is tailored to your individual needs. For more information about my experience and if I would be a good fit, please reach out. I'd love to discuss your needs and determine how I can best support you. . "Together we can accomplish so much more!" -Amanda

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I am passionate about supporting adults, older adults and couples as they manage a variety of life transitions and challenges. I value each client as an individual, YOUR circumstances, and help identify YOUR strengths. I bring a compassionate, energetic approach to help you on your journey. I would be honored to help you overcome and find your path forward.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Cognitive behavioral therapy is the foundation of my approach with clients. Understanding how our thoughts and perspectives impact our feelings is a key component toward healing. I have over 15 years of experience supporting client through cognitive behavioral work.

Couples Counseling

As a therapist who is also a wife of 20 years, I have been successful using my education, work experience, therapeutic interventions, and lived experience to help guide couples through challenging situations, infidelity, and communication issues.

Strength-Based

When struggling with depression, anxiety and life stressors, it can be challenging for us to identify our strengths and inner capabilities to move forward and overcome. I utilize a strengths-based perspective to get to know you and help guide your journey to healing.

Grief Therapy

For over 15 years I have worked in settings with older adults and their loved ones struggling not only with grief from death and loss, but also those grieving losses associated with medical conditions, changes in physical and functional capabilities, loss of independence, loss of purpose (retirement), and more. I'd love the opportunity to support you or your loved one through their grief process.
