Clinical Background and Approach

With over a decade of experience in our community systems, Amanda has dedicated herself to providing comprehensive care and support to individuals and families.

Trauma-Informed Care and Healing

Amanda views struggles through a trauma-informed lens, recognizing the profound impact of past experiences on present-day functioning. In her initial sessions, she prioritizes building rapport and getting to know her clients on a deeper level. Amanda encourages clients to come to sessions with intentions or goals in mind, fostering a collaborative and goal-oriented therapeutic relationship.

Healing, Amanda believes, is not a linear process. It requires patience, self-reflection, and compassion. Amanda supports clients in discovering their inner selves, identifying and addressing wounds, and embarking on a journey of self-discovery and growth. She utilizes talk therapy supplemented by various resources such as workbooks, books, videos, and articles to facilitate deeper understanding and insight.

Tailored Treatment and Client-Centered Care

Recognizing that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy, Amanda collaborates with her clients to determine the most effective treatment strategies. She encourages clients to reflect on their actions and reactions, fostering self-awareness and personal growth. Amanda is committed to creating a safe and nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their identities, values, and experiences.

As an advocate for inclusivity and diversity, Amanda is an ally to the LGBTQIA+ community, an advocate of Ethical Non-monogamy, and sex workers. She supports clients in seeking alternative types of treatment that align with their individual needs and preferences.
