Hi, I'm Amanda! If you're here, you've already done something brave. I work with people navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, and relationship challenges who are ready to understand the patterns keeping life feeling heavy or stuck. My goal is to make this whole process feel as easy as possible. I'd love to get to know you- reach out and let's take the first step together.
My approach is humanistic at the core: I meet you where you are, and our sessions take the shape you need them to. I draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you spot and shift the patterns that keep you stuck, and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) when we are working through trauma or PTSD. I also weave in Positive Psychology, focusing on what is already working and building from there. I believe you are the expert on your own life. My job is to offer tools, perspective, and a space where you can think out loud. It's your show, and I'm here to help in whatever way you need.
Our first session is yours to use however feels right. I'll ask some questions to understand what you're hoping for, and you can share as much or as little as you're comfortable with. By the end you'll have a real sense of who I am, what we'll work on together, and that you're in a safe, judgment-free space where you can just be yourself.
