Hello, my name is Amanda and I believe this career found me. Ever since I was a child all I wanted was to help people, be outside and create art. I know the power of art because it has helped me through many tough times. Art is how I communicate when I don't have the words to share my inner world with others. I know the power of being heard without judgment or unwelcome advice, because I too have experienced the feeling of isolation and frustration from receiving the opposite. I know the power of having a relationship with the natural world, because it has fostered a sense of belonging and spirituality for me.

We all have a story to tell, we decide where that story is going, and we create our stories in the here and now.

By taking an active role in the therapeutic process, I am confident in the client’s ability to self-actualize, create the changes they wish to see, and meet their goals. Life can be challenging, but with the right guidance those challenges can become your strongest tools in navigating and transforming your life.
