The Grounded Path — outside on a mountain

In a world that asks you to keep it together…

one quiet decision changes everything.

You don't have to carry everything alone.

You've spent so much time holding it all together that you've forgotten what it feels like to simply be yourself. Therapy isn't about fixing what's broken — it's about coming home to the person underneath, one mountain view at a time.

Who I help

Real people, doing the honest work of feeling more like themselves.

I work with adults navigating the moments that don't come with instructions — the burnout, the transitions, the relationships, the memories you thought you'd left behind. I also love working with current and former athletes, and anyone who wants movement to be part of healing.

What therapy looks like

Collaborative. Curious. Not clinical.

Therapy with me is a conversation — one where we build practical tools together and you actually get to use them outside the room. We go one mile at a time.

01

Understand

We slow down enough to see what's actually happening — in your body, your relationships, and your story.

02

Process

We work through what's stuck, using approaches matched to you: CBT, ACT, somatic, mindfulness.

03

Grow

You leave with tools you can actually use — and a clearer sense of who you are underneath survival mode.

About Amanda

I believe healing isn't about becoming someone different.

It's about reconnecting with the person you've always been underneath survival mode. I blend evidence-based approaches — CBT, ACT, somatic work, mindfulness — with curiosity, compassion, and the occasional laugh. Colorado is home. Movement, mountains, and mornings outside keep me grounded, and they show up in how I work.

Meet the co-therapist

Sometimes a very good dog named Summit joins us.

Since everything I do is virtual, my rescue mutt therapy dog in training occasionally wanders into frame — a soft sigh from off-screen, a paw on the keyboard, the top of a mismatched ear requesting attention. Clients tell me he's one of their favorite parts of the week. He has no clinical credentials yet, zero opinions on your childhood, and a truly excellent nap game. His only payment request: a belly rub after the session.

(If you'd prefer a dog-free session, just say so — he'll happily take a nap in the other room. Probably.)
