Amanda grew up in West Texas, surrounded by oil wells and good people and enraptured by sunsets. Amanda fell in love with Corpus Christi when she attended Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi while obtaining her Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology with an emphasis in Health. Amanda then moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma to get a Master's degree in Christian Counseling from the School of Theology and Missions at Oral Roberts University. She chose that specific university not for the colder weather because of the emphasis on the whole person- mind, body, and spirit. 

Amanda then moved around, gaining a myriad of experience working with different populations in different walks of life - from teaching seniors in High School in El Salvador, Central America (por eso razon, ella hablo espanol), to working with birth mothers at the Gladney Center for Adoption in Fort Worth. Amanda has the most experience working with children and young adults, specifically people learning to cope with a history of trauma. 

After COVID, Amanda decided alongside my spouse to return to Corpus Christi, Texas because life is too short to live near the fake beach when we prefer the real thing. Amanda loves living in South Texas and is honored to serve the community here. She intentionally provides a safe and judgment-free space for you to be in sessions with her.
