I take a special interest in attachment based therapy with adults . I see individuals in my office for the following:
I specialize in the treatment of adults 18﹢ suffering from anxiety and dealing with issues of grief and loss. I am trained in Prolonged Exposure Therapy and AEDP Level 1, as well as being EMDR certified, These evidence based treatments are used in the treatment of PTSD and trauma, as well as other distressing life events. With an increased focus on attachment wounds, I can also help with distress in everyday circumstances using a combination of these approaches and weaving in concepts from a parts model of therapy.

I believe that a true self exists in all of us, and that the things that happen to us, or don't happen for us, throughout our lives can get in the way of allowing that true self to be present. My relational approach can help heal the pain that comes when we lose sight of who we really are. My goal therefore is to walk with you to uncover that true self, using your power of self determination to guide us in the process.
In addition to being in private practice since 2018, I have over 20 years experience working in various outpatient community service settings. Providing substance abuse treatment and working with children and families, as well as providing social work services in local hospitals has contributed to the values and skills I use in my day to day practice with clients. I look forward to helping people and am most energized by those who are ready to experience an improved sense of self.

I’m glad you’re here. I have created this website to provide a place for people to read about topics in mental health that may be of interest or be a source of support for managing distress - just another platform to increase visibility of these issues and the resources that are out there for those who need it. It’s also a great place to get a sense of who I am as a provider. It can be used as a means of reaching out to me.
It’s important to remember this is not meant to be a way to communicate urgent needs or to get help in an emergency. If you are in need of urgent mental health care, you are best served calling a local crisis support hotline, such as Advocates, Inc. at 1-800-640-5432, dialing 988 for the Suicide and Crisis lifeline, or by going to your local emergency room.
I welcome you to browse the articles and videos on this site. Please feel free to message me privately with any questions or if you wish to schedule an appointment with me.
Take care and be well - Amanda
