The Grounded Summit Therapy — 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 may have forgotten what it feels like to simply be yourself. Therapy offers a space to reconnect, reflect, and grow — wherever you feel most comfortable. Whether you're curled up on your couch, sitting in your favorite quiet space, or surrounded by nature, telehealth therapy meets you where you are. Because finding your ground isn't about where you are physically — it's about discovering a sense of peace and connection within yourself.

About Amanda

I believe healing isn't about changing who you are.

It's about rediscovering yourself beneath the stress, expectations, and survival patterns life has placed along the way. My approach blends evidence-based therapies — including CBT, ACT, somatic techniques, and mindfulness — with authenticity, compassion, curiosity, and a little humor.

Colorado is where I call home, and my connection to movement, mountains, and the outdoors shapes both my personal life and therapeutic philosophy. I believe growth happens when we feel safe enough to explore, challenge ourselves, and reconnect with what matters most — at our own pace and in our own way.

I'd love to connect with you. Whether you're navigating a difficult chapter, feeling stuck, or simply looking for a space to better understand yourself, you don't have to figure it all out alone. Therapy is a place where you can show up exactly as you are, without judgment or pressure. Through telehealth, we can connect wherever you feel most comfortable, creating space for meaningful conversations, self-discovery, and growth.

Whenever you're ready, I'd be happy to meet you where you are and explore the next steps together.

More about my approach
Who I help

Adults, couples, parents, athletes, professionals, and folks in recovery — real people doing the honest work of feeling more like themselves.

Healing involves both mind and body. By integrating movement, mindfulness, nature-inspired practices, and somatic techniques with traditional talk therapy, we explore ways to release stress, regulate emotions, and reconnect with yourself — all at your own pace and in a space where you feel comfortable.

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.

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.

Animals add a lot to the therapy journey — more than most people expect. They greet you the same way every time, they don't need you to perform, and they'll settle quietly beside you when the words run out. That kind of honest, uncomplicated bond teaches us things about ourselves we rarely get from talking alone. I would genuinely love to hear about your furry animal as well: their name, their weird habits, who they're suspicious of, what they do when you come home. Half the time it tells me more about you than the intake form ever could.

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