Hi, I’m amanda.

And I am so glad you’re here.

I obtained my Masters degree from the University of Central Florida, and began my professional career at a non-profit counseling center while I worked towards licensure.

I moved to North Carolina and maintained my credentials while raising my young children, and began my private practice. I'm excited to offer services and support clients towards achieving their goals and improving their mental health.

My goal is to create a safe and welcoming environment for all, and allow clients to discuss and explore any concerns they may have regarding their mental health, whether it's anxiety, depression, women's issues, burn out, or self-care. I am here to support you, and offer a sounding board in which we work through any blocks you have, and strive towards personal development, whatever that looks like for you. This is a judgment-free space, where we can talk about anything--this is your time.

I love to work with motivated clients who may not have the skills they need, but want to better their lives and improve their mental health. Clients who need a little support. Clients who know what they want but may not know how to get there. Maybe life has become a little confusing or overwhelming. I've been there--you're not alone.

My Approach

my specialties

Integrative

Rather than restrict myself and my clients' process, I am open to many forms of therapeutic practice with the idea to offer the best option and individualistic attention to every client seen. I naturally gravitate towards Person-Centered therapy, as the core of my practice is providing a safe space and unconditional support. I'm able to utilized various treatment methods, depending on client needs and what the moment calls for.

Person-centered (Rogerian)

In our sessions, I use Person-Centered Therapy to create a space where you feel genuinely heard and understood. My focus is on providing a warm and non-judgmental environment so you can freely explore your thoughts and feelings. I believe that you have the inner strength and wisdom to find your own solutions, and my role is to support you on that journey.

During our time together, I listen with empathy and offer unconditional positive regard, which means I accept you just as you are. This approach helps build a strong, trusting relationship where you feel safe to express yourself. We work at your pace, and I’m here to help you uncover your own insights and make the changes you desire. By focusing on your unique experiences and fostering a genuine connection, we create a therapeutic space that encourages growth, healing, and self-discovery. My goal is to support you in finding your path to a more fulfilling and balanced life.

grief and loss

With profound respect for the unique nature of each grief journey, I offer guidance, companionship, and a therapeutic alliance that honors the individual's pace and process. In this space of warmth and understanding, I strive to help individuals navigate their grief, find solace, and ultimately embark on a path towards renewed hope and meaning.

anxiety

My therapeutic approach integrates a range of evidence-based practices to address these facets comprehensively. Through a supportive and non-judgmental environment, I empower individuals to navigate their anxiety, build self-awareness, and develop practical tools for managing stressors.

women’s issues

I specialize in women's issues, providing support and understanding for women of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences. My practice honors the diverse journeys of every woman, offering a safe, affirming space where all are welcomed and respected.
