Hi, I'm Amanda. I work with people who are looking for support, understanding, and a place to work through life’s challenges. Whether you’re dealing with stress, low mood, relationship challenges, big emotions, or major life changes, I’m here to help you get through it. Maybe you’re hoping to improve your communication, understand yourself better, or break patterns that no longer serve you. If you're ready to become a better version of yourself and don’t mind being challenged, let’s talk!
I utilize a supportive therapeutic relationship and a healthy dose of humor to help identify emotions and behaviors. My approach is client-centered and grounded in evidence-based techniques, primarily using Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Solution-Focused modalities. I tailor treatment to meet each individual’s needs and keep you in control of your life.
I’m here to welcome you into a judgment-free, safe space, a place that empowers personal growth and exploration. I'm in it with you- no blank stares or endless "How does that make you feel?" questions. Ready to feel better (and maybe even laugh a little along the way)? Email me to schedule your free consultation!

A look into therapy with me from a previous client's words! "My time spent with Amanda was an amazing experience to say the least. From the beginning, I felt so comfortable with her, and I truly looked forward to every session we had as it felt like a safe space for me. She's kind, empathetic, understanding, and most importantly, she helped me in ways unimaginable."
