Telehealth and in person. Located in Des Moines, IA.
Hello, I’m Amanda. As a licensed therapist with 12 years of experience, I understand that reaching out for support can be a big step. My approach is all about creating a safe and supportive space where you can feel heard and understood.
I specialize in trauma-informed and person-centered therapy, which means I focus on your unique needs and experiences while working together to address challenges. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just looking for someone to talk to, I’m here to help you explore your thoughts, navigate difficult emotions, and find strategies that work for you.
There are alot of heavy things going on in the world right now. Therapy is a journey, and my goal is to empower you to grow, heal, and move toward the life you want. If you're ready to take that step or just want to learn more about how we can work together, I’m here to listen and support you.
