Compassionate courage lives at the intersection of a supportive, safe environment and a willingness to kindly challenge yourself, and it is what I wish to provide for you. Actively questioning the ideas of “normalcy,” I work with you to unravel what assumptions you may have about yourself or the world around you. As we work together, I will help you contextualize our discoveries socially, developmentally, culturally, and biologically.

When working with clients, I use a collaborative approach. With this in mind, I want to make sure the relational aspect as well as interpersonal aspects of a person are an important part of the process. I work with adolescents, adults, families and couples struggling with interpersonal issues, relational discord, life transitions, familial conflict, body imaging struggles, trauma and other stressors that may arise. I have experience working with adults and adolescents in generational poverty, domestic violence survivors, teen pregnancy, grief and loss, self-esteem issues, sexual trauma and social justice concerns.

Welcome to a space where embracing your present emotional experiences leads to profound personal growth and transformation. Neglecting these emotions can leave us feeling unseen, insecure, and alone. I aim to create a safe environment where you can intentionally explore these feelings. With an MA in Counseling Psychology from the University of St. Thomas, my clinical interests span men's issues, neurodiversity, relationships, sexuality, and trauma.

Too often we get caught up in worrying about things we cannot control, yet don't know where to start in making a change in the right direction. Perhaps you're noticing more conflict in your relationships? Maybe you know what you'd like to be different in your life, but feel stuck or paralyzed in taking the first step? Or possibly, there are things you experienced growing up and you just can't seem to 'let it go.' As your therapist, I will take the time to get to know and understand your experiences, areas of stuckness, and overwhelm, as we work together to create meaningful changes.

I am happy to work with clients of all backgrounds and mental health challenges, and take a person-centered approach to tailor the therapeutic work to each individual client. I do, however, have more experience working with clients who struggle with symptoms associated with depression and anxiety. While the experiences of depression and anxiety can differ from person to person, this can often look like: a lack of energy or motivation, feelings of hopelessness, low self-esteem, sleep challenges, constant stress or worry about life stressors, irritability, difficulty concentrating or making decisions, and/or experiences of panic.

You deserve to live the life that you want, however, this may difficult sometimes. Feelings of depression, anxiety and PTSD may be the result of past trauma, hurt and other unforeseen circumstances. Because of those experiences, the thought of seeking assistance (therapy) scary and overwhelming. I know exactly how you might be feeling, the fear of being judged, shamed or misunderstood can be frightening.

“Stuck.” This is a word that often comes up in therapy: feeling stuck with painful feelings, with past traumatic experiences, in unhealthy ways of coping, or in challenging relationship dynamics. When stuck with thoughts of the past or worries about the future, this gets in the way of living in the present. Especially as environments are often invalidating of emotional experiences, getting unstuck is about making room for what we've learned to avoid. Through a close and meaningful relationship, I am passionate about creating a safe environment in which we can get to the bottom of what is keeping you from the life you want to lead.

Please note: I am no longer accepting new couples therapy clients. I have occasional openings for individual clients. Introduction: My most common client is someone wanting to work on their marriage/intimate relationship. These clients typically feel frustrated, unheard, and anxious about the state of their partnership. Many don’t know how to achieve change in their marriage or what healthy/fair expectations would look like. Although the most common goal for my clients is to save their marriage or mend a broken connection, sometimes they specifically need help leaving a relationship that no longer serves them.

Are you a teenager or young adult struggling to find your path in life? Are you still figuring out who you are and what you want out of life? You are not alone. Adolescence is a time of incredible transition and identity formation, and can be stressful and confusing. Despite how challenging this time is and that fact that our frontal lobe has not fully developed, we are asked to make some of the most important decisions of our lives (academic, occupational, relational, vocational). Adolescence and young adults often struggle with anxiety, depression, past trauma, substance use, and identity formation.

I think effective therapy begins with empathy and authenticity. Empathy means I’m going to really hear you. I create a welcoming and safe place where you can share and unload your heavy emotional burdens - where you can be honest about your struggles and your hopes - where we can talk honestly and frankly about meaningful solutions.

I have the honor of working with people experiencing a wide variety of concerns: depression; anxiety; grief/loss; life transitions; chronic illness; postpartum depression; sexual abuse; relationship problems; low self-esteem; family of origin; stress and more. I also have a certificate in Narcissistic abuse. My relational approach is based on the belief that within the framework of a trusting relationship with a therapist, clients can explore patterns of behavior and emotions that may relate to earlier relationships. Once a better understanding of the origins of these patterns is developed, people often find lasting symptom relief.

You may be feeling overwhelmed, groundless, sad, confused. You need a safe space to unpack and process at a pace that feels right for you.

You will be listened to and supported as we work together to achieve your goals for wellbeing and for positive connections with others. I strive to work from a place of affirming all identities, including a committment to HAES and body liberation.

When we cultivate self-compassion and practice bringing our whole selves into our relationships, our lives become calmer. I believe each person is the narrator and protagonist in their story, and by harnessing resilience and compassion, they can cultivate the life they desire. My areas of interest include trauma, anxiety, shame, relational couples work, and building resiliency and self-esteem. I believe we can face issues alone, yet a relational, collaborative approach will serve us to understand the contexts shaping our views of the world.

Writing about therapy is hard, particularly if you are not inclined to use tree or water metaphors. Instead, I invite you to reach out if you are an anxious, perfectionistic (don't stop reading because you think you aren't perfect enough to be a perfectionist) individual who is struggling anywhere on the disordered eating to eating disorder spectrum. Throw in a liberal arts education, and we might be a great fit. I primarily work with older adolescents (17+), young adults, and early career helping professionals (therapists, social workers, nurses, med students, etc).

Hello! I am Amanda. I am a bi-racial, African American identifying female. I chose Social Work because I have always been a helper, the one people could rely on when they needed someone to listen to them. I have always been super social; I have loved learning about other people and their life experiences. I love connecting with people, and being a therapist allows me to do that while being an asset to their personal growth.

I believe that a person’s innate capacity to grow and heal can emerge through connection and safety. By fostering increased awareness, acceptance, and skills, therapy can spark a process of transformation. Clients have described me as compassionate, warm, and authentic. I also believe in the healing power of humor and levity when appropriate. My strengths-based approach focuses on enhancing the unique resources and capacities you already possess. I am trained in brainspotting, a powerful brain-body approach that can support healing from trauma, address the roots of distress, and promote emotional well-being.

You’re tired of feeling like thoughts about food and your body dictate how you spend your day. It feels like you cannot escape the voice in your head that tells you that you are not thin enough, you ate too much, and the most important thing about you is the way you look. The truth is, your body is not the problem - It never was. Our culture is structured to make us fit inside narrow constructs that oppress who we are. We will work toward body liberation. Body liberation is the freedom from social and political systems of oppression that designate certain bodies as more worthy, healthy, and desirable than others.
