About Amanda
As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I specialize in working with adolescents, adults and families. I see clients who are dealing with a multitude of issues and who are from various backgrounds. I strive to create an environment of comfort and acceptance where you or your loved one can feel safe talking about difficult issues.
I draw from a variety of theories and incorporate different psychotherapy techniques to suit each individual and to help them achieve the changes which they desire. In each case, I provide empathy, patience, and a gentle push when needed. EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is offered as a service.
I earned my Bachelor of Science Degree in Psychology from Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas and a Masters Degree in Counseling from St. Edward's University in Austin, Texas. Before starting my private practice in 2010, I worked with children and families in crisis through the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services for 8 years.
