Not currently accepting patients

Hi there, I'm Amanda!

My approach to therapy is to do what works for my clients. Whether you need to examine your past to cope and move forward, or focus on what is currently happening in your life, I am here to help. I work with all ages, from children to teens to adults to seniors, using multiple modalities depending on what works for each client.

My approach

I tailor my therapeutic approach to what is most effective for each individual client. Some people need to process their past experiences in order to heal and move forward, while others benefit more from focusing on their present challenges. I am skilled in helping clients with both. My approach is flexible and draws from various modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Therapies, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and others, depending on my clients' unique needs.

My focus

I work with clients of all ages, including children, adolescents, adults, and seniors. My areas of specialty are broad and encompass issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship problems, family conflicts, anger management, self-esteem, life transitions, stress management, and more. I also have experience helping those impacted by chronic illness, infertility, substance use issues, and severe mental illness.

My communication style

My communication style is warm, non-judgmental, and supportive. I strive to create a safe and comfortable environment where my clients feel heard and understood. I believe in collaborating with my clients and empowering them to take an active role in their healing and growth. Through open and honest dialogue, we will work together to identify your goals, build on your strengths, and develop practical strategies to improve your well-being and quality of life.

My goals for you

My goal is to help you gain greater self-awareness, develop healthier coping skills, and make positive changes that align with your values and aspirations. Whether you are struggling with a specific issue or feeling stuck and unsure of how to move forward, I will provide the guidance and tools you need to overcome challenges, heal from emotional pain, and build resilience. Through our work together, I aim to empower you to live a more fulfilling and authentic life.

My first session with you

During our first session, we will discuss what brings you to therapy and what you hope to achieve. I will ask questions to gain a better understanding of your background, current circumstances, and unique challenges. This will help me tailor my approach to best meet your needs. We will also discuss the therapy process, confidentiality, and any other questions or concerns you may have. My aim is to establish a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust, compassion, and open communication from the very start.
