Hi there, I'm Amanda!

Hello and welcome! My name is Amanda, but you can call me Mandy as most people do. I am a licensed professional counselor in Virginia. I’m not sure if you are feeling more excited or overwhelmed about looking for a counselor, but whichever it is, this is a huge step that takes courage to even begin, and I’m so glad that you have been able to take that step! My hope is that reading a little about me will help you decide if my approach could be a good fit for you. I firmly believe that a good relationship with your therapist is crucial to seeing the changes that you are hoping for. I have been working in this field for 4 years, and a majority of that experience has been working with teenagers and families in crisis. That work has helped me learn to slow things down and roll with whatever comes our way in therapy. I tailor my approach to each client and what their needs are, but I frequently incorporate aspects of cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, parts work (IFS), motivational interviewing, EMDR, and more. My goal is to find what works best for you, and I always encourage feedback! You can count on me, to be honest, nonjudgmental, encouraging, and a partner in walking through whatever difficulties you are facing. I hope this has helped you learn a little about me, and I would be honored to work with you!
