Hi! I'm Amanda! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist providing behavioral support and mental healthcare to the Kentuckiana community for over 7+ years.
I have a wide range of clinical experience working with individuals and family systems impacted by OCD or trauma.
Though my educational background is in Social Work and Couples and Family Therapy, I specialized post-grad in the treatment of OCD, PTSD, and related anxiety disorders.
As a specialist, I welcome and routinely work with individuals struggling with lesser known manifestations of OCD such as self/other harm thoughts, sexual obsessions, and other taboo thoughts.
I use a combination of Exposure Response/Ritual Prevention and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques to help clients meet and maintain gains made in treatment. While ERP addresses the primary concerns bringing a person to treatment, ACT promotes their ability to accept the challenges that are faced and commit to the ongoing work of healing.
My passion is helping individuals on their journey toward healing. Beyond my specialized training, I take a humanistic and collaborative approach to allow therapy to be something that meets and incorporates client goals, needs, and expectations while also staying true to treatment modalities.
