ABOUT ME

Amanda is dually licensed in the State of Florida as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), MH17266, and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), MT4498. She is also a Florida Qualified Supervisor for both Registered Mental Health Counselor Interns and Registered Marriage and Family Therapist Interns. She has a Masters of Science in Counseling and Psychology from Troy University and a Bachelors of Arts Degree in Communication from The College of Wooster. Amanda is also a National Certified Counselor (NCC).​

​

Qualified supervision is available for Registered Mental Health Counselor Interns and Registered Marriage and Family Therapist Interns pursuing licensure in the state of Florida. My approach to supervision is collaborative, supportive, and grounded in real-world clinical practice. I strive to create a space where interns can ask questions, work through challenging cases, strengthen clinical decision-making, and develop confidence in their own unique identity as a therapist. ​

​​

I have experience providing mental health counseling to young adults, adults, and couples navigating trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship and parenting concerns, and significant life transitions. A meaningful part of my professional experience has been working with active-duty military members in an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), with a primary focus on trauma and PTSD. In private practice, I continue to have a particular passion for serving Veterans, active-duty service members, and military spouses and families.

​

My connection to the military community is also deeply personal. I am a military widow and proud Gold Star Family member. My late husband served on active duty in the United States Air Force and passed away from a brain tumor. My own experience with profound loss has shaped not only who I am, but also the compassion and perspective I bring to my work with those navigating grief, trauma, and unexpected life changes.

​

Outside of the counseling room, one of my greatest joys is spending time with my son. I also enjoy teaching dance fitness classes, which gives me an opportunity to connect with my community, move, have fun, and find a little balance outside of the work I love.
