Amelia appreciates an insight-oriented approach to counseling. This approach seeks to help individuals understand some of our underlying motivations concerning why we “act” the way we do. The counseling modalities she uses are Psychodynamic therapy, Emotion- Focused Therapy, and Attachment theory. Amelia also incorporates yoga and mindfulness into her practice for clients who enjoy those practices. She collaborates with adolescents(13+) and individuals in their journeys with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, identity development, life transitions, body dissatisfaction, self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and faith integration.
