Feeling like your motherhood experience is way more hot mess than hashtag blessed? Wrestling with guilt because you’re too overwhelmed to “enjoy every moment” (which is garbage advice, by the way)? Up late at night wondering if your parenting is setting up a steady income stream for your kid’s future therapist? If you’re looking for a break from the worry, longing to enjoy being a mom more, and wanting to feel confident and relaxed: you’re in the right place, friend.

I'm Amanda, and I specialize in helping moms who are struggling with anxiety stop being at the mercy of their thoughts. Together, we'll dig into what’s driving your anxiety and figure out new, more helpful ways to respond to it. We’ll focus on creating a toolkit of techniques tailored to you, empowering you to manage your worries and regain a sense of control in your life. This isn’t about becoming a supermom who never feels anxious; it’s about becoming a mom who knows how to handle her anxiety and thrive amidst the ups and downs of parenting - and life!

Being a mom is tough, more so when anxiety decides to join the party. But here’s the deal - you're tougher. With a little guidance and the right tools, you got this. I’m right here with you, ready to help you not just get through the days but actually find confidence and calm (yep, it’s possible!)

Ready to shift your mindset, build resilience and start enjoying motherhood again? Let's do this. 

Amanda accepts Aetna, ASR, BCBS, BCN, Cofinity, HAP, PHP, Priority Health and self-pay clients.
