Life can be challenging, and sometimes we all need a safe space to pause, reflect, and heal. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oregon with over 20 years of experience helping children, teens, and adults navigate emotional struggles, life transitions, and relationship challenges. My goal is to create a caring, nonjudgmental space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered to move toward greater balance and well-being.

I work best with clients who grew up with dysfunction in their attachment figures or upbringing and now feel its impact in adulthood. They often come in with anxiety, depression, shame, people-pleasing, or relationship struggles: feeling self-aware but still stuck or disconnected. The core of my work is supporting clients through transition and trauma, helping them build a healthy sense of identity, release shame, and move toward a more grounded, authentic way of being.

I am accepting new clients! Are you feeling stuck? Overwhelmed? You want to make a change but not sure where to begin? I’m so glad you’re here! We all struggle from time to time and could benefit from an objective supporter—someone who is trained to help you develop new, healthy strategies to deal with life’s struggles. I truly believe you are doing the very best you can with the tools you currently possess—but things can be better!

When working with clients, I see people as unique individuals who are trying to find their own meaning for their lives and a purpose in life. Through therapy we can learn so much about ourselves and our goals which we might not even be aware of up to this point. Part of my belief in therapy is centered in the idea that each person is capable of reaching their desired self or achieving self actualization. I believe individuals and relationships are trying to find their best possible versions of self. In my practice I emphasize promoting communication and emotional awareness.

Hello! My name is Amanda (she/her) and thanks for learning more about my practice. I believe each person has their own unique story and deserves space to be seen and heard.

You are not alone. My approach to therapy is to create a safe and welcoming space to identify, explore, grow and heal from the hurt you are experiencing. Collaboratively we can explore your strengths, worries and hopes to achieve your therapy goals.

Do you or your child need a help? Are you going through a difficult time? Or are you concerned for you or your child's mental health? Seeking help can be difficult and frustrating for both you and your loved ones. I believe that youth and young adults need counselors who truly care about them. In my experience with this demographic I have come to learn how important it is for them to have a place where they can open up and express themselves without shame or judgement. I want to help you and your loved ones find peace and contentment and I believe that counseling is a wonderful way to do that.

As a licensed Dr. of clinical psychology, I specialize in anxiety (OCD, GAD, phobias), depression, insomnia, autism spectrum disorders, complex medical/psychological conditions as well as recovery from affairs. I also offer treatment for cannabis (pot) addiction. I provide evidence-based care grounded in CBT and other proven methods, but I’ve found that warmth, authenticity, and a healthy sense of humor are just as essential. Therapy is serious work—but it works best when you're able to feel supported, understood, and even smile along the way.

Accepting new clients and available for in-person. I understand how anxiety and trauma can leave you feeling overwhelmed, unseen, and lost in pain. Suffering has a way of getting us in touch with our deepest emotions. It can disconnect us from who we are, what matters most, and leave us far from the peace God desires for us. You don’t have to face it alone. I offer a safe, compassionate space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported. Together, we'll seek healing, growth, and deeper connections to help you find meaning, vision, and purpose for your life.
