About Amanda
Her approach blends client-centered care with practical tools from cognitive behavioral and solution-focused methods. She listens first, then helps clients try small changes that can make daily life easier. Sessions often focus on improving communication, managing intense feelings, and building routines that support recovery.
Amanda has worked in community and residential settings, including youth and family programs and faith-based counseling centers. That background includes intake assessments, crisis response, group facilitation, and work with people coping with trauma and loss. She also has experience supporting those impacted by deployment and military life in previous roles at Ft. Carson.
In sessions she balances direct skill-building with time to tell your story. She emphasizes collaboration, asking clients what matters most and setting goals together. She also brings familiarity with grief work, trauma-focused techniques, and approaches that help people find purpose after major life changes.
Clients can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental space where faith may be part of the conversation when it matters to them. Amanda encourages people to be active partners in therapy and to bring questions about how the work can fit into their everyday lives.

How Amanda’s Approaches Fit Online Care
Amanda uses client-centered methods that begin with listening to each person’s priorities and goals. This approach helps shape sessions around what matters most, whether the focus is on relationships, grief, or career decisions.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches practical skills for managing anxiety and low mood. Narrative therapy is another tool she uses to help people reframe difficult stories and find new meaning after loss or trauma.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Amanda collaborates with clients to decide which methods to try first, checks in about what is helping, and adjusts the plan as goals change. That teamwork helps make sure the therapy fits the person rather than forcing a single method.
