Meet Amanda

Embark on a personalized healing journey where compassion, evidence-based care, and genuine connection come together.

I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families—supporting clients across the lifespan, from early childhood through adulthood. My passion is helping individuals feel truly seen, understood, and empowered as they navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm.

​

Early experiences shape how we see ourselves, others, and the world. For my youngest clients, I incorporate play therapy and developmentally appropriate, creative interventions to help children express big emotions, build regulation skills, and develop a sense of safety and confidence. With teens and adults, I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to gently challenge unhelpful thought patterns, alongside DBT-informed strategies to strengthen emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and relationships.

​

When trauma is part of your story, I provide specialized, trauma-focused care using EMDR, Brainspotting, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). These approaches extend beyond traditional talk therapy, supporting the nervous system in processing stored experiences and promoting deeper, more lasting healing—both emotionally and physiologically. I also offer compassionate support for perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, recognizing that pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood can bring both joy and unexpected emotional challenges. You don’t have to navigate that alone.

​

My approach is warm, collaborative, and individualized. I do not believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. Instead, we work together to identify what feels most supportive—building insight, strengthening coping skills, and creating space for meaningful, sustainable growth.

​

You are not broken. You are human. And healing is possible.

​

It would be an honor to walk alongside you as you navigate life’s challenges and move toward greater balance, resilience, and emotional well-being.
