About Amanda

I’m a licensed professional counselor and registered art therapist dedicated to creating a safe, supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and respected. I specialize in working with teens and adults who have experienced traumatic life events, grief and loss, anxiety, life transitions, emotional challenges, and looking to achieve personal growth. My approach is client centered: compassionate and collaborative, blending traditional talk therapy with creative artistic expression.

Types of Therapy Offered
Personalized one-on-one therapy sessions designed to support healing and personal growth in a safe, confidential environment. Either in-person or virtually.
Individual Therapy
A creative approach to healing that allows individuals to express thoughts and emotions when words feel difficult — no artistic experience necessary as the focus in on the process, not the product.
Art Therapy
Using a thoughtful blend of trauma-informed care and art therapy, this work creates a safe, compassionate space where experiences can be gently expressed, explored, and held with care—without pressure or judgment.
Trauma Therapy
What to Expect
Beginning therapy is a courageous step, and it’s natural to feel a combination of emotions — from fear to hope. My goal is to create a warm, supportive, and confidential space where you feel comfortable showing up exactly as you are.
During our first session, the time is spent getting to know you — your concerns or worries, your goals, and what brings you to therapy. Whether you are looking for traditional talk therapy, creative processing through art therapy, or a blend of both, together we’ll develop a therapeutic plan tailored to your needs.
Therapy is a collaborative process. Through a therapeutic relationship, clients, over time, find greater clarity, stronger coping skills, and a deeper understanding of themselves.
Finding the right support is an investment in your well-being. AEF Art Therapy & Counseling is committed to making high-quality care accessible while providing a thoughtful, personalized therapeutic experience.
