Hi, I’m Amanda and I’m passionate about helping individuals rediscover peace, purpose, and authenticity.

I know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed, disconnected, and stuck in cycles of anxiety that show up not just in your mind, but in your body too. It’s exhausting to constantly be in survival mode, second-guessing yourself, or worrying about meeting everyone else’s expectations. I’ve been there too.

Whether you’re navigating a life transition, neurodivergence, healing from trauma, or feeling disconnected in your relationships, I understand the complexity of these challenges. Healing isn’t about fixing what’s “broken”—it’s about reconnecting with the parts of you that have been neglected or overshadowed.

That’s why I specialize in helping people shift from burnout, anxiety, and overwhelm to a life where you can breathe again—one where your needs are honored, your boundaries respected, and you feel grounded in your own skin.

With support, you can:

  • Develop personalized rhythms that nurture your mind, body, and soul

  • Break free from limiting mindsets and patterns

  • Cultivate relationships that feel fulfilling and honor your needs

  • Navigate challenging life transitions with more confidence

  • Embrace all aspects of yourself with more compassion

  • Find balance between caring for others and caring for yourself

  • Cultivate a fulfilling, vibrant sex life and deeper intimacy

  • Make space for rest, joy, creativity, and meaningful connection

My Approach

I blend several healing modalities, including Emotion-Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and somatic techniques, to create a holistic, personalized approach that’s as unique as you are. Whether we’re exploring your thoughts, emotions, or physical sensations, my goal is to help you integrate all parts of yourself and create lasting, meaningful change.

My Background

As a licensed mental health therapist, with additional certifications in integrative medicine for mental health and advanced clinical sexology, I’ve spent years studying and practicing a range of therapeutic methods that connect the mind, body, and spirit to help clients find a sense of wholeness and authenticity.

I offer individual therapy both in-person in St. Petersburg and online throughout Florida, so you can get the support you need no matter where you are in the sunshine state.

If you’re ready to cultivate a life that supports you, with more peace and purpose, I’d love to work with you. Let’s create the space for your authentic transformation.

I believe therapy is a partnership, and I’m here to walk with you as you step into a life that feels truly yours—one that’s not defined by outside influences, but by your values, passions, and deepest desires.
