About Us

My name is Amanda, and some people may consider me a rare breed for my love of working with adolescents and teens. I think middle and high school are some of the most vital and confusing times of a person’s life where it seems like everything has to be figured out. Academic pressures grow exponentially, friendships shift, romantic relationships emerge, all while a person is trying to figure out who they are. So much change and growth begins at this time and continues well into adulthood. Whether you are a teenager, young adult, or parent, counseling can help you sort through the changes and emerge into the best version of yourself. , I pride myself in being able to connect with young people, and I think the key to my success is being real. Counseling starts with a trusting relationship, so I talk to my clients like I would speak to any other adult. Through a myriad of techniques, I will help you or your child with depression, anxiety, perfectionism, self esteem, and many other issues. , Opening up to a stranger is difficult for everyone. If you’re a parent seeking counseling for your child, explore the options of talented counselors with your child and encourage their input. If you are looking for yourself, find the profile that seems to speak to you best. Finding the right counselor for you or your family is the key to success.
