My website
My name is Amanda, a Gestalt therapist in training and somatic facilitator. I am passionate about supporting my clients with where they feel stuck, overwhelmed or are living in pain. Together we explore where you find yourself in the present, and at your pace, begin to move towards growth, expanding awareness, and building capacity for grounded support. I apply an intersectional, feminist lens that acknowledges systemic harms and the ways our rapidly changing world is deeply impacting our capacity for connection and mutuality.
I work with a somatic lens to explore beyond insight, towards deeper integration and connection with yourself. My goal is to offer a space to reconnect with your innate wisdom and to align with the aliveness in your system. I incorporate experiential techniques, such as parts work, movement, and gesture drawing and other forms of non-verbal expression.
I bring my lived experience as an artist to my approach as a therapist; I listen deeply, am fiercely curious, creative, rigorous in my thinking, collaborative, and compassionate. I offer a free consultation call to connect and explore the possibility of working together before booking a first session.

I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression and the impacts of trauma. Through relational exploration we explore ways to support what shows up in the present; in your thoughts, feelings and bodily responses. We get familiar with how the patterns you are experiencing appear for you and can become fixed. Together we look to restore fluidity to the ways you move through the world.

Gestalt is embodied, relational and collaborative. I am interested in how your life experiences show up in the present moment with me, attending to the here and now in the therapy session. We combine dialogue and experiential practices to include all parts of self as part of the picture. Working with somatics brings the body's responses into focus, fostering co-regulation & nervous system support.
