Pronouns: She/Her

Amanda is New Mexico Native and has earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Communication from the University of New Mexico. Amanda is currently working towards obtaining her Master’s Degree in Clinical Counseling from Southwestern College in Santa Fe, NM. Amanda is also working towards a certificate in Grief/Trauma/Renewal through the SWC Counseling Program. Under the supervision of licensed professionals, Amanda believes in the power of holistic care and creating a capacity for an individual’s resilience.

Amanda places value on lending an empathetic ear, small steps towards self-compassion, artistic expression, and play integration to support her clients as they navigate their own unique journey towards healing.

Amanda’s therapeutic approach incorporates the methods of Child-
Centered Play Therapy (CCPT), CBT/DBT, Person-Centered, Somatic, and Analytical Theory. Specializing in children and adolescents, Amanda believes in the power of play and imagination to foster the skills of emotional regulation, neurodivergent understanding, empathetic curiosity, and unpacking unconscious layers of instilled trauma.

Amanda consistently aims to be adaptable to the needs of her clients, leans heavily into emotional attunement, and works to cultivate wellness through play, narrative reframing, and imagination. Amanda’s approach to the therapeutic dynamic also incorporates unique interventions of games, stories, art, music, and puppets as ways of psychoeducation, narrative reframing, and emotional comprehension.

In her free time, Amanda enjoys spending time with her two dogs, nature walks, and finding self-regulation through music and creativity. Amanda enjoys cooking, reading, and relaxing with a warm cup of tea.

“The most terrifying thing is to accept oneself completely. It is only when we accept ourselves, with all of our contradictions, wounds, and flaws, that we can begin to understand others in their complexity…Only through integration of all aspects of the self, including the shadow, can we achieve true wholeness and inner peace.”
