Meet Amanda

I work with individuals navigating complex challenges, including trauma, substance use, and co-occurring mental health concerns. My style is eclectic and client-centered—I start by understanding your story, then draw from CBT, CPT, and somatic approaches like meditation, progressive muscle relaxation, and brainspotting to tailor care that fits. I bring a deep passion for client care and believe therapy should meet you where you are and evolve as you grow.
