I'm Amanda, providing in person & telemental health services to Colorado and NJ residents from emergent adulthood into seniority. I seek to provide a comfortable, welcoming space for clients to work through life’s challenges both large and small. Together, we’ll devote our time to cultivating growth and self-awareness while building upon existing strengths. We all have the ability to change, grow, and self-heal. Although my goal is to help clients discover and recover authentic solutions for their unique challenges; during our work together you may find that the solutions are already there, I just encourage bringing them to light!
Working in hospice and community mental health have cultivated unique skills rooted in cross-cultural awareness and compassion. Intimacy with the dying process, alongside the inextricable link between chronic illness and trauma, led me to seek new tools derived from EMDR and IFS for assisting clients while living. In 2020 I became EMDRIA certified.
My practice respects all persons and is LGBTQIA+ affirmative, committed to decolonizing therapy, antiracism and speciesism. I look forward to meeting you in all your forms.. Each time you seek therapeutic support it is a courageous choice.
