About

Hi, I’m Amanda! I provide person-centered, trauma-informed, LGBTQ-affirmative, and feminist therapy to clients of all genders and ages. I have a particular passion for working with youth who are experiencing difficulties related to trauma, mood issues, sexual orientation, gender identity, and life transitions. My experience includes work in school-based therapy as well as residential treatment for unhoused clients with co-occurring substance use and severe mental health disorders. In my current practice, my approach is informed by my background in organizing for anti-racism, disability rights and the LGBTQ community.

I have specialized training in the treatment of trauma-related disorders, addiction, LGBTQ affirmative therapy (emphasis on work with bisexual and pansexual clients), polyamorous relationship counseling, feminist therapy, and ecotherapy. I also regularly incorporate evidence based therapies like CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy.

In our work together, I believe that you are the expert in your own experience, and I highly encourage your feedback and collaboration in order to find the therapeutic approach that best meets your needs. My role is to provide down-to-earth, judgment-free space, presence, and guidance to help you connect with your authentic self. Let's work together!
