Amanda has a particular interest in supporting adult survivors of childhood abuse, as well as first responders and military personnel. She also welcomes anyone who is looking for a place to make sense of their experiences and move toward meaningful change. Amanda’s approach recognizes that our early experiences shape how our nervous system learns to respond to stress, emotion, and connection. When those systems stay stuck on high alert, it can leave us feeling disconnected. Amanda combines talk therapy with body-based and parts-focused approaches to help people move from simply understanding their story to feeling more integrated and present in their lives.
