Welcome
I'm Amanda. I am a holistic, trauma-informed Therapist and Coach supporting adults in healing from trauma, mothers who want to feel more fulfilled and people who want to feel more embodied and connected to themselves.
Healing is not one-size-fits-all approach. I beleive we contain the wisdom to live a life aligned with who we want to be, not who we had to be in the past to survive.
​
Seeking support to confront patterns keeping us stuck takes immense courage. I celebrate you for even thinking about it.
​
Book a call and find out if we make a good fit.
Its not just in your head...
Are you starting to realize that old narratives like, "change your thoughts, change your life," and "just think positively," are not doing much about your symptoms?
​
This is more than just about "coping." This is about living a life not controlled by your past wounds and reclaiming your power.
Specialties
My approach includes:
-
Using the intelligence of the individual nervous system (Polyvagal Theory) to make sense of your patterns of survival and how those adaptations developed so that we understand how to move forward in a way that makes you feel safe, connected and can expand your capacity.
-
Parts-work (Internal Family Systems) to support you in transforming shame for these protective behaviors into self compassion and start feeling unstuck and unburdened by the patterns no longer serving you.
-
Somatic (body based regulation) because we respect how trauma and experiences are not just in the mind, but stored in the body.
-
Trauma-Informed Care. Above all, I am a trauma-informed and trained professional, which means no matter the approach, we take it collaboratively and with safety at the forefront. Feeling discomfort in therapy is okay, feeling like you're drowning and leaving the session worse than you started it, is not. We build the internal and external resources necessary to process and integrate past traumatic experiences.
​
Other specialities include group facilitation, inner-child healing and reparenting.
Complex Trauma/ PTSD
Our life experiences, whether perceived as big or small, shape our patterns in beliefs, responses, self-worth, relationships and more. Together, we peel back the layers to move shame towards the self compassion necessary to step out of survival mode and live authentically.
Highly Sensitive Souls
Drop the mask and take me down your side streets to tell me your story. I am following you. As a neurodivergent woman, I appreciate the context, layers, depth and creativity that neurodiversity brings. While also understanding the overwhelm and stimulation that can flood your system.
Perinatal Mental Health
Becoming a mother is an initiation that our culture has forgotten. If embodying the mother you want to be is harder than you think, you are not alone. Feel seen and supported in the unique challenges you face as a mother and start to feel unstuck and empowered.
