In my practice I work with children, teens, and adults who are having a hard time understanding, communicating about, and coping with their emotions and experiences. I enjoy collaborating with folks to find the right therapeutic container for the work that will offer ease, growth, and healing in daily life and beyond.This looks different for everyone and I’ve found that art, music, play therapy, and somatic inquiry are some of the ways I lean into building a therapeutic container that is attune...

Our life experiences impact who we are and who we become. The positive experiences stay with us, but the negative experiences stay with us as well. Sometimes it helps to look at all these experiences – both positive and negative to help us gain a deeper understanding of ourselves. The relationships we have had throughout our lives are also deeply influential in shaping who we are and our current relationships. Therapy can be helpful in giving each person a greater sense and deeper understanding ...

Hi, I’m Amanda (she/her) I identify as white, cis gendered, middle-class woman. As someone with a great deal of privilege, I believe it is my job to make sure I understand my privilege through active learning, unlearning and holding space for others. I believe that we all have access to an inner knowledge that helps us overcome our challenges. I use several tools to help clients access this knowledge including talk therapy, art therapy, and regulation strategies, mindfulness and meditation...
Oh hey there! I want to start off by saying props to you on taking that first step and acknowledging you need a change. Having that insight is a key component as we embark on this therapeutic relationship. Within this relationship, my role is to help you uncover who you are, determine where you want to go in life, and how to manage all the pivots you will have along the journey. The perception of what therapy looks like is that I will be sitting in a cardigan sweater in my leather chair, w...

Hi. If you have ended up here chances are you are questioning if you need help trying to figure something out in your life. Don't close the page...You are here and that is good. Being in college can be a really difficult transition and so much harder than you thought it was going to be. Classes, grades, friends, socializing, drugs, sex, identity, expression, first time independence, and feeling home sick. Perhaps you have dealt with mental health issues before now or maybe this is the first ti...
I am a licensed clinical psychologist with 15 years of experience treating adolescents and adults. My approach to psychotherapy is warm, empathic, and compassionate. I treat each individual professionally and with respect.

I strive to create a safe environment where you c...

Hi! I support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, grief, disability, and intergenerational trauma. I also help with work, college, systemic stress, life or career transitions, relationship challenges, or identity exploration—including cultural, racial, values, or life roles. Together, we’ll process your experiences, make meaning of them, and work toward finding balance and well-being. I also recognize that not everyone comes to therapy to work on something specific. Maybe you’re simpl...

Sometimes family doesn’t understand what you're experiencing and that can feel isolating. As a bilingual/bicultural therapist, I have firsthand experience with the challenges of trying t...
