She believes meaningful healing begins with genuine connection and strives to create an environment where clients feel safe, respected, and empowered to grow at their own pace. Amanda approaches therapy with warmth, curiosity, and the belief that every individual has unique strengths that can be built upon, even during times of crisis or uncertainty. 

She works with children, adolescents, adults, parents, and families facing a wide range of concerns, including trauma, anxiety, depression, emotional and behavioral challenges, grief, substance use, severe and persistent mental illness, and major life transitions. She has extensive experience supporting individuals in crisis, helping clients improve emotional regulation, strengthen family relationships, and navigate complex behavioral health systems. She also enjoys working with neurodivergent children and adolescents, providing practical support that helps families better understand and meet their unique needs. 

Her therapeutic style is individualized, trauma-informed, and strengths-based, drawing from evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)-informed interventions, Motivational Interviewing (MI), attachment-based therapy, family systems approaches, solution-focused interventions, and psychoeducation. Amanda tailors’ treatment to each client's developmental stage, goals, and circumstances, integrating play-based and child-centered strategies when appropriate. Whether someone is seeking support during a crisis, working through the effects of trauma, strengthening family relationships, or building healthier coping skills, Amanda is committed to helping clients find hope, resilience, and lasting change.
