Hi, I’m Amanda
If you’re here, you’re ready to experience deep healing from the inside out.
You know the past is living in your present but may not be sure where exactly it is showing up, or what to do about it.
You’re ready to take the next step on a journey toward personal alignment, self-acceptance, and vitality in your life.
You’re looking for a guide who can nurture your inner wisdom while challenging you to step outside of your comfort zone.
My Approach to Therapy
Therapy with me is a place where you can say the things you haven’t said out loud.
It’s important to me that you feel you can share without a filter or fear of judgment. This should be the case in any therapy experience, but clients often come to me having had negative past therapy experiences. It’s hard to develop trust with a new therapist, and I work to be transparent and forthcoming from our consultation on in order to foster this trust.
The work will feel uncomfortable at times. We will look at long-held patterns and beliefs while holding space for the twists and turns of daily life. We will go at your pace, and sessions will likely look different each time as we flexibly address your specific life and struggles.
As your therapist, I don’t shy away from “taboo” topics. Whether it be power, privilege, identity, sex, money, or drug use, I welcome these topics and encourage you to bring up what is coming up for you.
