Amanda’s therapeutic approach incorporates the methods of Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT), DBT/CBT methods, PersonCentered, Somatic, Attachment, Analytical theory, and trauma-informed care. Specializing primarily 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 trauma.

Amanda consistently aims to be adaptable to the needs of her clients, leans heavily into emotional attunement, and aims instill the capacity for healing through the power of play, narratives, and imagination.

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 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.”
