Welcome, I am Amanda! You don’t have to wait for a crisis to want something to change. Therapy can be a space to reconnect with yourself, get clarity, and actually feel better, not just survive the day.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with over a decade of experience helping people untangle the stress, self-doubt, and the "what now?" moments that come with being human. Whether you're overwhelmed, burnt out, stuck in your own head, or going through a major life shift, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

If you’re the one everyone depends on but you feel anxious, burned out, or emotionally drained, you don’t have to keep pushing through alone. I work with adults who are high-functioning on the outside but overwhelmed on the inside, especially women, professionals, parents, caregivers, and veterans navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, burnout, and major life transitions.

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) and over 20 years of experience across diverse healthcare settings. As a veteran, I bring personal understanding of military culture and chronic stress. My approach is collaborative, culturally responsive, and judgment-free, blending evidence-based medication management with supportive, real-world conversation.

If you’re looking for care that feels thoughtful, respectful, and tailored to your life, not rushed or one-size-fits-all, invite you to schedule a consultation and take the first step toward feeling more grounded and supported.
