Meet Amanda

I value building rapport and supporting clients in reaching their individual treatment goals. I utilize a strengths-based approach and incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), mindfulness, stress management, and safety planning into treatment. I also help clients strengthen communication and interpersonal skills. I primarily work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, adjustment disorders, bipolar disorder, and personality-related challenges, while supporting emotional regulation and relationship growth.

I value the importance of building rapport and supporting my clients in achieving their individual treatment goals.

Interests

Outside of work, my interests consist of spending time with my family, friends, and pets. I enjoy the outdoors and going for walks, hikes, or just sitting outside and enjoying the fresh air. I love to travel and see new places. I love going out to eat, relaxing and watching TV or a movie, and trying new activities.
