ABOUT
Hi! I'm Amanda
I'm glad you're here
If you’ve landed here, you’re probably feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. Maybe you’re tired of being anxious all the time, questioning your worth, or replaying experiences that feel impossible to move past. I get it, I’ve been there too. And while healing doesn’t happen overnight, it is possible to feel grounded, confident, and present again.
My approach to therapy is collaborative and tailored to you. Together, we’ll clarify what you need right now, whether that’s easing symptoms from a recent event or understanding the deeper roots of long-held patterns that keep resurfacing.
Using EMDR therapy, I help you safely process what’s been overwhelming so your mind and body can finally move toward relief and restoration.
You don’t have to keep carrying everything alone. Healing is about finding new ways to relate to your experiences, not just talking about them. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, supported, and equipped with tools that help you live fully in the present, not stuck in the past.

WHY YOU may want to
work with me
With a over a decade of clinical experience and ten 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.
