Are you troubled and stressed in a relationship, but don't know how to change things? Do you say yes when you want to say no? Are you covering up your pain with destructive behaviors? Do you judge yourself harshly and feel you are just never good enough? Negative thoughts, anxiety and low self esteem can be an enormous burden, making it a crushing chore to just get through the day. They affect your relationships, your ability to work, and can lead to substance abuse, over-eating and other behaviors that can pull you into a downward spiral.

I firmly believe that life's most difficult challenges - intense and explosive emotions, impulsive behaviors, trauma, emotional eating, suicidality, self-harm, substance abuse - can be handled and surmounted through compassionate support and attainable goals. I am a certified DBT therapist, a skill-based therapy designed to help those living with overwhelming emotions and harmful behavior patterns. In my years of practice, I have seen my clients master the tools of Mindfulness, Emotion Regulation, Distress Tolerance and Interpersonal Effectiveness to build happy and productive lives, with increased self-respect and positive relationships. I know there is hope and relief for everyone.

I am seeing clients in my offices and/or using Telehealth. I combine a ‘wholistic’ approach for all my clients, from children to adults, using science and evidence-based techniques. This may help them get emotionally regulated, make better decisions, widen their Window of Tolerance, and have access to being more calm. I follow your lead on developing real solutions 'here and now'​ for personal, family, social, and vocational challenges. Have questions? I have a great website and Watch and Read More page that informs and educates you on the methods we can use in session.

Ideally, we use an eclectic approach with therapy. Encompassing one particular approach is not beneficial - a "one size fits all" is counter therapeutic and does not allow the client to find refreshing avenues to discover abstinence/sobriety. Coupling our therapeutic approaches with Self-Help immersion, or non-traditional means, is well received. Additionally, we focus on developing a relapse prevention plan from the very first session. We call these "living, breathing documents which change throughout treatment". Please feel free to call with any questions you may have for yourself or loved one.

My name is Amanda and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, working to support, encourage, and at times challenge clients to reach their full potential and create the life they 'want' rather than the life they think they 'should' be living.

We all have a life narrative; some experiences are easy to understand, while others we may try to reject or avoid. Our narrative can be unfairly written with past emotional pain and we’re left to shoulder the burden of these experiences, which may manifest as anxiety, depression, grief, anger, etc. Each of these experiences are part of your greater story, linking from one to another, all of which has shaped you to be the person you are today. The process of self-exploration, change, and healing from these experiences is challenging, highlighting the importance of finding the right therapist for you.
