Amanda knows that reaching out for help can feel like a big step. Her goal is to make sure every client who takes that step feels welcome, respected, and free to be themselves.
Amanda earned her master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Colorado Colorado Springs. She has more than 10 years of experience and specialized training in addiction, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and EMDR. She has also trained to work with military members and their families.
At Renovia Behavioral Health, Amanda treats the whole person. That means looking at emotions, behaviors, and the world around each client, not just the symptoms. She has experience in assessments, individual and group therapy, and crisis support. She works closely with the full care team so every client gets care that is connected and consistent. Her approach is strengths-based and trauma-informed. She believes every person brings their own experiences, values, and strengths into recovery, and she helps clients build on them.
Outside of work, Amanda loves time with family, friends, and her two dogs. She enjoys the outdoors, reading, and mindfulness. She believes keeping balance in her own life helps her be fully present for the people she serves.
Kindness, authenticity, and lifelong learning guide her work. Her hope is that every client feels respected, encouraged, and empowered on the road to healing.
