More about Amanda
- 18 years' experience
- Female
- LPCC
I hope to help new clients find the path in life that they find fulfilling. I have been working with youth, adults, couples, and families in mental health settings since 2003. I specialize in working with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma experience, and non-suicidal self-injury. I believe that we all need to find a sense of purpose and meaning in life to be happy and often that meaning is found in relationships and in finding a sense of community or belonging with others. I work from a nonjudgmental, empowering perspective. I look forward to working with you!
