More about Amelia
- 13 years' experience

- LMHC
I see therapy as an opportunity to work toward growth, self-discovery, and healing. I believe that people come to me not only with where they may be stuck or hurting, but also with incredible strengths and abilities. Through warmth, collaboration, and direct communication I hope to help uncover patterns that are getting in the way of living well. I use an experiential, emotion + body focused approach along with art therapy and practical tools to develop new ways of experiencing and approaching the hard stuff in life.
I specialize in the Neuro Affective Relational Model (NARM), Inner Bonding, Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and EMDR. I frequently utilize body based somatic approaches in my work. I also incorporate creative expression including visual art, writing, mindful movement, and acting + improv based practices to supplement evidence based treatment options.
I work to incorporate mindfulness, creativity, humor, and genuine connection + vulnerability into therapy sessions. I see you as the expert on your own experience and work to provide empathetic collaboration to achieve your goals. I encourage you to reach out for a consultation.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
