About Amenda
We serve individuals navigating any barriers to well being. That may or may not include ADHD, autism, substance use, disordered eating, thought, mood, or trauma disorders. Our ideal clients are people who feel underserved by conventional, fragmented care and are looking for a data driven, whole-person approach that treats the connection between the mind and the body. Most patients come to us when standard care has left them feeling stuck. Many are tired of brief medication checks that ignore physical health, while others are frustrated by alternative therapies that dismiss the genuine clinical need for pharmaceutical interventions. Using these approaches and therapies we have seen our patients achieve true balance: medication management, brief psychotherapy integration, somatic work, medication tapering, naturopathic psychiatry, amino acid therapy, nutritional therapy, genetic testing, functional lab work, walsh protocol, acupuncture. Welcome to Amenda Clinic where we merge the physical, emotional, and spiritual experience of being human with evidence based care, fierce acceptance and creativity to expand people’s capacity to show up and live their fullest life. Through the broadest range of therapies and providers we can offer you data driven treatment plans with a balanced approach.

I work with clients who feel like they don’t quite fit, who are questioning who they are, pushing against expectations, or tired of holding it all together. If you’re feeling anxious, disconnected, or unsure where you belong, therapy can be a place to figure that out without judgment.…

Chronic pain is real and physical. Being sent to a therapist for it can feel like an accusation. That is not what I am doing. I work on what the pain takes from your sleep, your mood, and your days, so daily life feels more manageable. I live with fibromyalgia. That doesn’t make me an expert…

You may seem OK on the outside, but on the inside, your mind rarely slows down. There is constant mental noise: second-guessing yourself and others, constant “what ifs?”, fear of failure, or thoughts that feel intrusive and hard to dismiss. Anxiety can be subtle or overwhelming, but over time it begins to dictate choices, routines, and even your sense of self. Left unchecked, it becomes exhausting, convincing, and relentless. I specialize in treating anxiety, including OCD. Using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), we focus on changing your relationship with anxiety and other uncomfortable feelings. That might mean gradually addressing avoidance tendencies, reducing compulsions, building tolerance for uncertainty, or changing how you respond to intrusive thoughts. My approach is active, practical, and collaborative. We don’t just analyze feelings - we work with them directly. I also enjoy working with ADHD, especially when anxiety and executive functioning challenges overlap. When things always feel harder than they “should” be, we focus on reducing shame, building sustainable systems, and increasing consistency. Over time, you can learn to build real trust in your ability to handle what’s in front of you. My approach blends evidence-based treatment with warmth, humor, and a clear plan. Anxiety is part of being human, but with the right support, you can build the skills to live life on your terms. I offer free 20-minute phone consults for our initial introduction to each other. Appointment slots generally offered Monday-Thursday from 11:00 to 4:00.
