About Amanda
My passion is helping people navigate their unique stories, face challenges with courage, and discover resilience and redemption along the way. With more than 25 years of experience serving teenagers and college students through Young Life, I’ve gained a deep understanding of walking alongside others through seasons of discovery, growth, pain, identity formation, and change. Additionally, married for over 25 years and a mom of four (ages 10 to 23), I understand the unique challenges and joys that come with different stages of life, marriage, and parenting. These experiences have given me a heart for supporting teens, college students, women, and mothers as they navigate transitions, relationships, and self-discovery.
I am skilled at integrating biblical truth into the counseling process for those who desire it, while also enjoying working with clients who prefer a non-spiritual approach. My heart is to meet you exactly where you are and tailor our work together to your unique needs.
If you’re ready to embrace vulnerability and are seeking a safe, nonjudgmental, and compassionate space founded on trust and connection, you’re in the right place. Healing begins when we feel truly seen and supported. From the moment you walk into the room, I make every effort to create that environment for you. I will listen closely and understand your story, while helping you feel comfortable and supported from the start. Together, we’ll identify the areas where you’d like to see growth and begin forming a plan for healing, resilience, and hope.
When I’m not seeing clients, you’ll often find me spending time with my family, watching my kids play sports, hanging out with my Young Life girls, or connecting with friends over good conversation. I love creating space for meaningful connection through shared meals, adventures, or simply being present with the people I care about.
