A note from Amanda
I completed my MS in Marriage and Family Therapy from Capella University. I am trained in EMDR and in the process of getting trained in brain spotting. I use many therapy theories in my practice depending on what the client is struggling with and how they show up that day. My approach to therapy is a very direct one. I tell clients that I am a good fit for someone who is ready to work on themselves and create change, even though that can be incredibly hard. I believe saying the hard and uncomfortable things helps people get to a place of change faster.
