Amanda is a state licensed and nationally certified therapist with an undergraduate degree in psychology and a masters degree in professional counseling. She has a Certificate of Advanced Graduate Studies in Trauma, Abuse, and Deprivation.

Amanda is passionate about treating the “whole person” by addressing mind, body and spiritual influences. Treating a person’s concerns holistically is important to her as she believe in the mind-body connection and that one effects the other.

Specializing in trauma and abuse issues, she uses Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral approaches to confront toxic belief systems that hold you back from living the life you desire. Amanda has specific training in working with children and adolescents and incorporates Expressive Arts and Play Therapy techniques to better speak their language in a non-confrontational way. Amanda has strong beliefs that keeping caretakers involved and informed throughout the treatment process with children is critical as attachment and relationships are a key component in the healing process.
