Liberating you from difficult thoughts and feelings through psychotherapy and meditation.
Growth & Healing through:
psychotherapy
I specialize in using Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you struggle less with your thoughts, feelings, and self-talk. You learn to reconnect with (and honor) your whole being, so you move through life (even its hardest parts) guided by what matters to you. Please reach out to explore the alignment between your goals and my practice.
meditatING
As a davidji certified meditation teacher, I know how to guide you to an inner sanctuary where your mind calms and you become less reactive. Inner safety blossoms as you grow patience, gratitude, presence, and self-compassion. You process grief, anxiety, or past hurts in a grounded way. By spending time in this inner sanctuary, you change how you show up for yourself and to the rest of your life. (Heck…you may even sleep better or lower your blood pressure.)
ConsultING
When facing or recovering from silhouette-altering breast surgery, you may want an agenda-free, non-judgmental, and professional space to explore what’s best for you, including your psychosocial well-being. During this one-hour consultation, I help you make sense of your thoughts, feelings, and actions so you can holistically prepare for what is yet to come.

Amanda helped me realize that there was nothing inherently wrong with me. Having that insight made me feel powerful enough to continue healing myself beyond our sessions together. I’m thankful to Amanda for playing a significant role in changing the trajectory of my life. I felt like Amanda really cared about me as a person, whether I was her client or not, and I will always cherish her for that!”
