Holistic therapy for anxiety, complex trauma, shadow work, relationships, infertility, motherhood, and life purpose.

Hello and welcome!

I'm Amanda, an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist in El Dorado Hills, passionate about helping people just like you, navigate this wild ride called life! I bring a unique blend of clinical training and psychospiritual wisdom to create a safe, grounding space to support your healing journey.

I offer holistic psychotherapy for adults, teens and couples and work in-person in El Dorado Hills (near Folsom and Sacramento) and virtually throughout California. I joined The Holistic Counseling Center in 2025 and I am supervised by Kim Burris, LMFT #98927.

My approach is integrative, and rooted in honoring the mind-body-spirit connection. I weave together evidence-based therapy including EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with somatic practices, mindfulness, and spiritual modalities to support you in healing, change and growth. Like the Japanese art of Kintsugi, which finds beauty in broken places, I believe our scars can become sources of exquisite strength and purpose.

Psychotherapy is a place to both learn practical tools you can start using right away to feel better, and doing deep work to unearth longstanding patterns that keep you from enjoying your life. Whether you're healing from trauma, frustrated with overwhelm and anxiety, navigating motherhood or looking for support with challenging relationships, I’d love to support you.

I currently offer in-person therapy in El Dorado Hills and virtually throughout California, and am accepting new clients with daytime and evening availability. Book a free consultation call to get started.

When I'm not in session, you can find me journaling in my garden, practicing Kundalini yoga, dancing with my son, or recharging in nature. I'm passionate about creating meaningful connections that bring more joy, more presence, and more love into this world.
