Hi, I’m Amanda! I decided to become a therapist because I love helping people overcome challenges and become who they are meant to be. I believe change is possible for everyone, and have seen just how resilient people truly are. One of the most wonderful parts about being a therapist is sitting with a person who feels so broken, holding that pain with them, and creating a space for healing. I know that trust, empathy, understanding, and love are key components of the therapeutic relationship, and I work hard to cultivate these in session. I began my graduate internship in 2019 as a therapist at an outpatient treatment center, supporting clients through a wide range of complex traumas. Together, we work from the ground up to understand diagnoses, develop coping skills, and accomplish meaningful goals. Since graduating in 2021, I have worked in private practice, primarily assisting clients struggling with anxiety, addiction, depression, relationship challenges, LGBTQ+ issues, spirituality, and many other concerns. With my diverse background, I take a personalized approach to therapy, tailoring each session to fit the unique needs of my clients rather than relying on a one size fits all method. Clients often tell me they appreciate working with me for my compassion, expertise, insights, strong memory, and ability to be both supportive and honest, even blunt when necessary.
