You make it look easy—but it’s taking everything you’ve got.

  • You wake up already tired—your mind buzzing, your heart racing before you even get out of bed.

    From down the hall, your toddler’s calling for you while your brain runs the list: get breakfast on the table, pack lunches, find the missing shoe, sign the school picture form.


    You’re slapping together sandwiches, filling water bottles, trying to get out the door—and before you know it, you’re yelling again. Then comes the guilt.

  • Or maybe your morning starts with a lukewarm cup of coffee and a wall of emails. What do you even focus on first? The notifications never stop—Slack, Teams, texts, meetings that could’ve been emails. Everyone needs something from you, all at once.

  • You keep it together because that’s what you do. You’re the one people count on—at work, at home, everywhere. But lately, it’s getting harder to hold it all. You snap, then feel awful. You lie awake replaying the day, wondering why you can’t just handle things better.

You love your family, your career, your life—but you miss yourself.

It doesn’t have to stay this way.

You can slow down, breathe again, and create a life that actually fits who you are now.

Hi, I’m Amanda.

I provide a calm, creative space to slow the rush and reconnect with yourself.

I'm Amanda, I specalize in anxiety therapy, support for parents, counseling for women and professionals, and art therapy.

You’ve been running on empty for too long. Therapy is the space you need to finally catch your breath. As a mom of two, therapist, and business owner, I get it. If you’ve made it this far down the page, I know you’re looking for relief.

In our work together, we’ll make sense of the whirlwind you’re in and help you find your footing—so you can move forward with intention. Not steering from the background, but fully present, with both hands on the wheel.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor and Art Therapist, I specialize in anxiety therapy, support for parents, counseling for women and professionals, and art therapy. I also work with women navigating the hormonal changes of perimenopause—helping them through this shifting time that brings strong physical and emotional challenges, and reminding them they’re not alone, nor is it “just stress.”

Clients often walk away with a clearer understanding of themselves—finally making space for their own needs, not just everyone else’s.

Therapy Specialties

  • Anxiety is running the show—your thoughts spin, your heart races, and your body feels tense, leaving you in overdrive every day.

    Together, we’ll build awareness of how anxiety shows up for you and learn how to work through it—so you can find real relief and steadiness again.

  • Parenting wasn’t supposed to feel like this—exhausting, overwhelming, and full of guilt, with constant pressure to get it all “right.”

    We’ll untangle how anxiety and perfectionism feed the overwhelm and help you find steadier ground to be the parent you want to be.

  • You’ve spent years holding it all together. The pressure to do everything “right” and be the “good one” has left you feeling disconnected from yourself.

    In therapy, we’ll explore what it means to feel confident, expressive, and grounded in who you are.

  • The pressure to overdeliver, please everyone, and stay “on” all the time has you feeling empty and lost in the constant demands of work.

    Together, we’ll clarify what balance looks like for you, set boundaries, reconnect with purpose, and find calm in your career.

  • You don’t have to be an artist to find healing through art. Art therapy gives us another language to express what’s hard to put into words.

    Through creativity—whether imagery, color, or simple scribbling—we’ll uncover insights you may have never expected and find calm and clarity in the process.

Is it Stress, or could it be Perimenopause?

Perimenopause is often mistaken for “just stress.” As a therapist specializing in anxiety, I’ve seen how often women’s experiences are overlooked.

I’m passionate about helping you connect the dots between anxiety, hormones, and emotional shifts—so you can feel calm and grounded through this change.
