ABOUT
Hi! I'm Amanda
I'm glad you're here
Here's a little about me so you can see if you feel we might be a good fit!
​
As much as I can nerd out all day talking about EMDR, I stay most busy these days as a momma to my 2-year-old boy and 1-year-old girl with the support of my amazing husband. Before this beautiful chapter of my life, I spent more than two years working at the most supportive group private practice where I became an EMDRIA Certified EMDR therapist. I then began working as a consultant-in-training, providing support to other EMDR therapists. Lastly, prior to this most recent adventure, I had the privilege of supporting and empowering the most incredible survivors of intimate partner violence for over 8 years.
​
To say I'm honored to support you on this journey is an understatement. As an EMDR client and therapist with 10 years of clinical experience, I feel confident in telling you that how you show up in this process has great potential for healing parts of you that you have never imagined. If you have been on the fence about EMDR therapy, I highly encourage checking out my FAQ page or instagram to learn more about the process!

WHY SHOULD YOU
With a decade of clinical experience and nine years specializing in EMDR therapy, I will bring a wealth of knowledge and passion to our sessions. I'm a Certified EMDR Therapist and also a Consultant-in-Training, which means I'm constantly honing my skills and helping other therapists improve theirs. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, PTSD, self-worth challenges or a recent traumatic event, my tailored techniques will support your preparation and navigation through the therapeutic process, allowing for flexibility and adjustments as needed. I have also successfully worked with individuals suffering from autoimmune disorders, helping them see significant symptom reduction and resolution through this evidence-based therapy (*individual results vary and are not guaranteed). In addition to the clinical side of things, I stay actively engaged in the EMDR community by attending regular trainings to maintain my certification.
Specializing in virtual EMDR therapy in California and Texas, I offer the convenience and flexibility of remote sessions, making it easier for you to access the help you need from the comfort of your home. My focus on your overall emotional safety ensures a supportive environment, encouraging healing and growth at your own pace. If you're ready to take the next step towards healing, I invite you to contact me for a free 15-minute consultation and discover how my experience and personalized approach can make a difference in your life.
