You’re on the hamster wheel—constantly going, trying to keep up, feeling overstimulated and overwhelmed. I see you, and you’re not alone. I’m Amelia, and my goal is to help you build the awareness, skills, and tools to live with more balance and fulfillment. Growth can be uncomfortable, but together we’ll create your blueprint for a happier, more grounded life.
As a mental health therapist, I firmly believe that everyone possesses unique strengths within them that can be utilized to overcome challenges and achieve personal growth. Rather than focusing solely on problems and deficits, I strive to identify and amplify clients' existing strengths, talents, and positive attributes.
I feel incredibly privileged to be a part of my clients' healing journeys. If you are seeking a supportive, client centered approach to therapy that focuses on your unique qualities and potential, I am here to guide you through this transformative process. Together, we can create a path towards a more fulfilling and empowered life.

I work with clients who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, or trauma related to their upbringing, relationships or family. During our first session, we will explore what brought you to therapy and together develop a treatment plan that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual shift in symptoms within the first month of treatment and sustained growth thereafter.

I often use Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) in my practice. With DBT, clients learn to accept themselves and their emotions and thoughts as they are, without judgment, and work toward making positive changes to build a life worth living. I also utilize Brainspotting, which is a powerful, focused treatment method that works by identifying, processing, and releasing core sources of trauma.
