About Me

Many clients who walk through Amanda’s door feel misunderstood, hopeless, stuck, thinking life will never get better. They feel alone and need a place where they can feel validated, safe, and secure. Amanda is able to provide this for her clients; a place where they can feel truly understood, a haven where they don’t have to feel so alone. Amanda’s top priority is providing individualistic compassionate care. She has been in private practice for over 7 years and prior to that, worked in eating disorder and substance abuse residential, partial hospitalization (PHP), and intensive outpatient (IOP).

Amanda is trained in various modalities like Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Somatic Experience (SE) Therapy. DBT is an evidence-based psychotherapy that helps you learn to regulate your emotions, improve your relationships, and withstand times of distress without impulsivity. SE is a psychobiological method for resolving trauma symptoms and relieving chronic stress. It facilitates the completion of self-protective motor responses and the release of thwarted survival energy bound in the body.

Amanda truly believes in her clients and feels that every individual has the ability to change at any point in their lifetime.
