I been with Amanda for a long time now and she has been my rock. The last couple months have been the most challenging in my entire life and I'm so grateful to have her supportive words and reminders. I'm tuff on myself and I do not always see my worth of the work I did. When I have sessions with Amanda I suddenly feel those feelings lifting and getting clarity on next steps. She goes out of her way to help, gets back to me and is over kind human with big heart. I picked her specifically as I believed she would be the person I described and she exceeded it. Thank you

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
-Ferris Bueller
In the busy, fast paced world we live in, I want to offer people a time out to look around and reflect on life. We all go through times in which we need the opportunity to process our lives, and the emotions that come along for the ride, with a fellow traveler. Give yourself the gift of time away from your list of to-dos, roles, and responsibilities to tell me your story. Bring your favorite tea or coffee as we laugh and cry about life’s ups and downs, twists and turns. Sometimes we feel lost along the way, I hope to help you find your self, meaning, and purpose.
I have been a therapist for over 15 years. Through the years I have worked in schools, churches, courts, community based and private practice settings. I enjoy working with all different people at any stage of their lives. I have a special place in my heart for each person I hold space for. It is my honor to sit with you and experience you and your personal journey. Each person and their story is a part of the greater whole we collectively experience this one life with. We were all created to live out a unique journey with shared human experiences that connects us all.
The last several years, we were all forced to rethink life and what we truly value. Take the time you need for yourself, from the comfort of your own home, to reassess your life, values, and purpose. As they say, YOLO… make it a life you can truly love!
Your fellow traveler,
Amanda

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Amanda is amazing, I have been with her for couple months now and she always makes me feel comfortable and listens. It's an interactive session where I fell her support and presence. Thank you Amanda
Hands down the best therapist I have ever worked with! Amanda has a special something about her that helps you feel at ease. I was working through an extremely painful breakup , trauma, as well as old wounds that were never healed. Guess what?! I came out on top!! And I owe Amanda a huge thank you because she held my hand through the storm yet had me working hard on myself. Highly recommend Amanda!!!
Amanda is so warm and genuinely cares. She is realistic and down to earth and speaks from her heart. She is a wonderful listener and has truly supported me during an incredibly difficult time.
Amanda has been a fantastic resource to help me through issues I have faced in my professional and personal life. Very empathetic and kind, and really listens to you!
She’s the best! 20/10 recommend
Amanda is a fantastic therapist who shows up to session ready to engage. Having been looking for a therapist for quite some time, I feel fortunate to have found Amanda and look forward to continuing to build a beautiful therapeutic relationship
So amazing, best therapist ever!
A Great listener for one, and actively pays attention to what’s being said/explained. I feel she is emotionally and physically trying to understand whatever it is that’s discussed on deeper level. I Appreciate Amanda’s ways of lending support while remaining professional especially since therapy wasn’t an option I was a fan of from the beginning, so thank you!
Amanda is amazing!! She is so intuitive and a great listener. She provides great feedback and always makes time for me when I need it!
Amanda is a wonderful human and a wonderful therapist. I find insight and understanding every week I talk with her. I am very thankful for her support!
Amanda is awesome and very helpful. I look forward to our sessions weekly. Best therapy experience I’ve ever had.
Amanda is great. She’s very knowledgeable of our topic at hand. She’s compassionate but direct when the conversation calls for it.
Amanda is my second go at Therapy and I can say that I’ve really lucked out. She’s great with flexible scheduling and staying in contact. Speaking with Amanda has definitely been making a huge impact in my life, helping me understand and process the ups and downs. Her friendliness and “real talk” has made this experience feel way more normal than I expected in the best of ways. She’s so great, that after hearing about my experience with her, my partner decided to give therapy a try too.
A very positive and encourging source of support. Definitely a ray of sunshine when things feel cloudy.
Amanda is wonderful. She listens actively, provides fantastic insight and observations, and genuinely cares. As someone new to therapy, she has made this a really worthwhile experience.
