My desire to care for people and improve their quality of life, combined with my own healing journey, are what made me fall in love with counseling. I really believe that we are not meant to face life's challenges alone. Life can be overwhelming, leaving us feeling weary, uncertain, and stuck. But I believe that within every person is a wellspring of strength and resilience waiting to be discovered. Together, we can navigate the complexities of life, untangle the knots of trauma, anxiety, confusion, and hurt, and forge new paths toward freedom and wholeness.

Hi there, I'm Amanda! I'm happy you're here and am excited to tell you what therapy with me looks like. Some key takeaways of my therapeutic style are that I offer direct feedback, express my empathy, and uncover the root of client’s issues to guide them toward transformative healing. Clients explain my therapeutic style as disarming, trusting that my direct feedback comes from a place of compassion.

Are you experiencing anxiety, depression, or other emotional struggles that seem impossible to get through? Do these things interfere with your life goals and relationships? You don't have to stay stuck where you are. Therapy can be very helpful with the effort of both the clinician and client. I don’t believe one approach is fitting for everyone as I come from an eclectic view. I will work with you through a therapeutic modality we both agree fits your needs and where you are in your journey towards health.

I am the life coach for therapists, healers, seekers, & dreamers. NO big Package by-ins--have 1 session at a time with no commitment--and I'll happily give referrals if I'm not the right healer for you. Good fits? Previous therapy experience, already has some understanding of personal 'stuck points' and want guidance, support, mentorship, & 'how-to' tools to live balanced, fulfilled, peaceful. Life is hard enough--easier with emotionally effective tools and strategies. I think my best work is in teaching people from difficult backgrounds how to fully, deeply, love and heal themselves, to get out of survival mode and into LIVING.

Waitlist for new clients
Are you looking for a therapeutic approach that is different than what you might be used to? Are you ready to explore the root of the problem that is continuing to cause you the symptoms you are struggling with? By using approaches such as, Art Therapy, EMDR, IFS and Reiki I can offer you something in addition to talk therapy. These approaches target verbal areas of the brain that shut down during a traumatic event(s). Reiki can be described as a spiritual/energetic approach that is often referred to as a "massage for the soul".

My ideal client is someone (young adult/adult) who has a vested interest in their own well-being and that of their family if that applies. I have a long history of working with young adults and adults who have not had the understanding of what counseling/therapy is all about. I provide the opportunity, in a safe telehealth environment, for them to have that experience. I am client-centered, in other words, with a focus on what clients bring. My work is to support them in their personal journey to healthy mental health.

Adlerian Therapists

How does Adlerian psychology work?

In the framework of Adlerian therapy, people are motivated by a sense of belonging and community, which drives them to surmount feelings of inferiority so as to contribute to their society; fulfilling these desires can help people flourish. Adlerian therapy proceeds in four stages—engagement, assessment, insight, and reorientation—in an overall effort to understand the client’s past and to achieve their present-day humanistic goals.

Is Adlerian therapy humanistic?

Yes, Adlerian psychology is humanistic; it focuses on the whole person, emphasizes their strengths rather than just their symptoms, and centers them in determining how they can grow and flourish. This school of thought informed the work of Abraham Maslow, who went on to develop humanistic psychology.

How long does Adlerian therapy take?

Adlerian therapy is a short-term, goal-oriented form of therapy that takes around 15 to 20 weekly sessions. Of course, some people may be in therapy for a shorter or longer time frame; length depends on the individual and the problem or condition they wish to treat. Clients can ask their therapist about the timeline for treatment before they begin and check in periodically to ensure that they’re on the same page in terms of progress.

Is Adlerian therapy evidence based?

There is not as much evidence to support the effectiveness of Adlerian therapy as there is for other types of therapy such as cognitive behavioral therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy. But Adlerian therapy may be the right therapy for some people—whether they’re seeking to treat mental disorders or achieve self-growth—especially those looking for a holistic approach that emphasizes relationships, community, self-worth, and purpose.
