Welcome! I'm Amanda, an empathetic, collaborative therapist passionate about helping people navigate life's challenges with resilience and self-compassion. I offer a warm, strengths-based, and culturally responsive approach for adults experiencing anxiety, overwhelm, addiction, codependency, family conflict, relationship challenges, life transitions, or the unique experiences of being neurodivergent. Together, we'll explore patterns that may be keeping you stuck while building practical skills to help you feel more grounded, connected, and aligned with your values.
I integrate CBT, DBT, Polyvagal Theory, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and somatic practices to help you regulate emotions, strengthen relationships, increase self-understanding, and create meaningful, lasting change in everyday life.
Healing doesn't have to happen alone. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply ready for change, I'll meet you with compassion, curiosity, and collaboration. Together, we'll build on your strengths so you can move forward with greater confidence, balance, and hope.
