Meet Your Therapist
Hi! I am Amanda. I’m a Registered Psychotherapist.
Pronouns: She/Her/Hers
I help people recover from trauma (PTSD) and anxiety.
Trauma (PTSD) and anxiety can leave you feeling lost and frustrated. This is normal. Recovery is a gradual process of building self-confidence, understanding your discomfort, and rediscovering things that are important to you.
Maybe you’ve been in therapy before, or maybe this is your first step to recovery. Either way, my practice can empower you to make lasting change.
Together, we can work on:
Understanding your mental health and your patterns
Changing your relationship to emotions
Taking manageable steps toward your goals
Changing how you respond to unwanted thoughts, images or sensations
Increasing your confidence and moving out of your comfort zone
