About Amanda

I am so grateful to have this opportunity to create a safe space for you to come to for additional support as you navigate life. I sincerely enjoy working with kids, teens and parents. Being in a space with teens and helping them find their best selves brings me so much joy. I fell in love with working with parents and their littlest children when I completed the Infant, Early Childhood, and Family Mental Health graduate program through UW Madison.

I recognize how difficult parenting can be, but throw in trauma, mental health, and/or chronic illness, and it can feel like we’re always treading water with no end in sight. As a chronic illness mama myself, I know how hard it can be to balance caring for our health & our kids! For over 10 years, I have been working with children, teens, & adults. I love working with parents & kids to assist them in meeting whatever goals they have from reprocessing trauma, building self esteem, or managing life transitions. Life can be hard, & I love helping others to recognize all the things worth celebrating in it especially themselves!

We can navigate this together! You’re not really alone. As a counselor (and a pretty cool human), I love finding ways to help you get back to you and heal all the hurts that you’ve experienced along the way.  I offer a space where you can work through anything, without judgment. There is nothing you can say that I haven’t heard or dealt with personally or professionally. We all have baggage, and I’m here to help you unpack and reorganize
