Amanda works with adolescents, young adults, and adults who are navigating periods of uncertainty, challenge, or transition. She supports clients dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, self-esteem, defiance, eating concerns, and family conflict, as well as people who feel unsure about their direction, purpose, or next steps in life, often during transitions related to school, work, independence, or identity. Many of the young people she works with feel misunderstood, struggle socially, or have difficulty accepting themselves, while her young adult clients may feel pressure to “have it all figured out” yet internally feel disconnected, unmotivated, or unsure of who they are becoming. She also works with adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck in familiar patterns, or disconnected from themselves, often while balancing relationships, parenting, work, or life transitions. 

Amanda’s approach is thoughtful, practical, and focused on meaningful change. She helps clients notice what’s happening inside, thoughts, feelings, and bodily responses, so they can respond to challenging situations in new ways, strengthen emotional regulation, and build skills that carry into everyday life. 

Her work is informed by evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy, along with somatic and body-based strategies. These tools help clients recognize patterns, manage stress, and feel more in control of their reactions and actions. 

In addition to her clinical work, Amanda holds a B.S. in Nutrition and Dietetics and a Master’s in School Counseling. Her experience as a School Counselor gives her firsthand insight into the academic, social, and emotional pressures young people face today. She has practiced yoga for over 25 years, is a yoga teacher, and is pursuing certification in Yoga Therapy, which supports her integrative, whole-person approach to care.
