Hi, I’m Amanda, a licensed marriage and family therapist and the founder of Mellow Therapy. My approach is grounded in empathy, trust, and a healthy dose of humor. I believe therapy works best when it’s collaborative, compassionate, and real. It’s work I care about deeply and feel grateful to do every day.

Who do I help?

I work primarily with adults who find themselves feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally depleted, often despite outward success. Many of my clients are thoughtful, high-achieving individuals who struggle with anxiety, depression, addiction, or the lasting effects of trauma. They’re the ones who are used to holding it all together for everyone else, putting others first, managing high expectations, and constantly pushing themselves to do more or be better.

There’s often a strong undercurrent of perfectionism or people-pleasing driving their internal world. While these patterns may have helped them succeed professionally or maintain relationships, they can also lead to burnout, self-doubt, and disconnection. I help clients break out of those cycles and return to a place of alignment, clarity, and self-trust.

How do I help?

My therapeutic style is warm, engaged, and collaborative. I want our sessions to feel like a space where you can exhale, get curious, and explore things that may be hard to name in everyday life. I integrate EMDR to help process painful or stuck experiences that are stored in the body and nervous system. EMDR is especially effective for trauma, but I’ve also seen it help with anxiety, self-worth, and shifting old patterns that no longer serve you.

In addition to EMDR, I incorporate evidence-based practices like CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) to support concrete skill-building around boundaries, emotional regulation, and self-compassion. Whether we’re working on relationship dynamics, coping strategies, or reconnecting with a part of yourself you’ve lost touch with, we’ll move at a pace that feels supportive and empowering.
Ultimately, I want therapy to feel like a space where you can be fully yourself, without judgment, without pressure, and without needing to have it all figured out. Together, we’ll work toward helping you feel more grounded, resilient, and connected in your day-to-day life.
