Amanda Specializes in Trauma Recovery and Overcoming Codependency.

Amanda believes therapy is holistic work where we learn to recognize the strength that lies within ourselves as we retell our stories. She is eager to walk beside those in the trenches and give them a safe space to process the things that may feel too heavy to hold alone.
 
Amanda brings a collaborative approach to therapy in a non-judgmental environment where clients are empowered to be their whole selves and move toward healing and growth. She believes the reason people begin counseling can point toward a deeper story that we can explore and work through together.

Amanda operates from an emotionally-focused, trauma-informed approach and enjoys incorporating somatic work and Attachment Theory. She believes that our stories, particularly trauma, deeply impact our physical selves, and she loves to empower clients to connect with their bodies to ultimately bring deeper healing to their minds. Her hope is that counseling is a space where you can experience goodness in the middle of your grief, questions, and pain and learn how to incorporate the painful events as part of your story and not the whole narrative.

Amanda’s Specialties include: Trauma Recovery, Complex/Developmental Trauma, Codependency, Grief and Loss, and Spiritual Abuse.
 
Amanda received a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Richmont Graduate University and a Bachelor of Arts in Creative Writing Nonfiction from the University of Missouri-Columbia. She loves to write, spend time with loved ones, and go hiking in her free time.
