Hi There!

I am Amanda and I have been a practicing Therapist since 2016. I have a wide range of experience including: Treatment Resistant Depression and Anxiety, PTSD, and Grief and Loss.

I am warm, patient, and direct. I want to help you make the most of life and develop faith in yourself to overcome life challenges and turn them for good.

Most people arrive at therapy carrying something they've never said out loud. My job is to make saying it possible by being someone worth trusting with it.

I've been a practicing counselor for over a decade. I also teach and supervise the next generation of therapists, which keeps me sharp and current. But experience and credentials aren't what makes the work good. What makes therapy work is that I'm a real person in the room with you: direct when that helps, quiet when that helps more. I will never ask you to do something I'm not willing to do myself.

My education isn't limited to my degrees. My clients have taught me more about resilience, compassion, and what it means to live fully than any program did. I hold that as sacred, and I take you as seriously as I take that.

I've spent years caring for people navigating the challenges that come with anxiety, depression, and trauma, and I believe real change is possible for anyone willing to take the first step. My background spans both medical and behavioral health, which means I approach your mental health as part of your whole health story, not in isolation. Working remotely allows me to meet you where you are, offering the flexibility that busy, full lives deserve. Whether you're managing daily stress, working through difficult emotions, or looking for a fresh start, I'm here to help you move toward the life you want.

I most enjoy empowering clients and helping them reach their goals! I look forward to working with you!

As a licensed psychologist, I have experiences working with adults and couples. I specialize in anxiety, depression, family-child relations, and interpersonal relationship difficulties. I tailor my treatment approach to individual client needs and preferences. I believe therapy can alleviate pain but more importantly it also promotes growth and change.
