I’m Amanda, and I help adults and couples just like you: ones that have it within them to recover from trauma and previous attachment wounds, break free from debilitating anxiety, and form and deepen secure and healthy relationships, but just need the support to get there. I help my clients find confidence, self-compassion, and ultimately create a life they are proud of by equipping them with the tools they need to better understand themselves and one another, and learn how to tackle barriers that have previously gotten in the way of happiness.
I am dedicated to helping people heal from trauma and live meaningful lives with secure and trusting relationships.

Gaslighting themselves

Shame
Perfectionism Benefits of therapy with me:
Someone who gets it - I've experienced family and relational trauma, I have had significant anxiety, and I've had healthy relationships with romantic partners and really unhealthy relationships
Someone who is prioritizing working with you as an individual - by not working directly with insurance companies and having a small client caseload, I get to be as present as possible with you
Someone who wants you to learn how to be your own therapist by developing a vast toolkit of coping skills - I once had a client refer to finishing therapy as graduating with a Ph.D. in themself, and I love that!Training/Licensure/Certifications:
