Hi there! I’m Amanda, a Master of Social Work clinician at GE Family Services, a division of Partners Behavioral Health Corporation. I began my career in 2019 after earning my Bachelor of Social Work and spent several years in nonprofit settings focused on case management, youth development, behavioral health, and substance use. I completed my Master of Social Work in 2026 and have continued to build a practice grounded in compassion, collaboration, and evidence‑based care. 

 

As both a parent and an active-duty military spouse, I know firsthand how essential it is to have community, connection, and resilience during periods of change. I specialize in supporting women navigate stressors related to motherhood, including postpartum and fertility complications. I also work closely with military families adjusting to the demands of a fast‑paced and unpredictable lifestyle. Additionally, I have experience supporting older adults as they navigate grief, loss, and the unique emotional and practical shifts that come later in life.

 

My therapeutic approach is strengths-based, person-centered, and trauma-informed. I draw from various modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Solution‑Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I am trained in the Strengthening Families Program (SFP), Trust‑Based Relational Intervention (TBRI), and Parent‑Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), and am a Peer Support Professional. I believe you are the expert of your own life, and my role is to offer tools, insight, and encouragement as we work together toward healing and growth.

 

Outside of the therapy room, you’ll find me spending time with my family, exploring Alaska’s great outdoors, and diving into creative outlets like crochet, painting, and playing music. These passions help keep me grounded and evoke a sense of what makes life meaningful. I am happy you are here. Healing is hard work, but you don’t have to do it alone. Let’s find joy together.
