Amanda supports clients in cultivating mindfulness and charting a balanced therapeutic path that honors both acceptance and meaningful change.

Professional Experience

Amanda has worked with adults and adolescents across a range of settings, including community mental health, substance use treatment, domestic violence agencies, and private practice. She has experience working with neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+ clients, and has supported individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, parenting and identity challenges, and emotional dysregulation including self-harm and suicidal ideation. Prior to becoming a therapist, Amanda worked in humanitarian response and international development — an experience that deeply informs her systemic, whole-person perspective.
