Throughout her career, Amanda has always had a true passion for working with individuals from all walks of life to ensure they meet their self-identified goals for treatment. She believes in

utilizing an individualized strengths-based holistic approach for each client and is a strong advocate for her client's right to self-determination.

She primarily uses a Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) approach; This modality is mindfulness-based and assists with identifying triggers to clients’ thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and coaches clients in more effective ways

to manage their responses to those triggers.

She also pulls from these various methods:

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy

Motivational Interviewing

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Throughout the therapeutic process, clients will work toward their self-determined goals with guidance and validation. Clients will be challenged and coached through each session and given various skills to utilize throughout their daily lives. Each session ends with a recap of the discussion and the client is encouraged to practice whatever skills were discussed during the session to assist with implementation and progress outside the therapeutic setting.
