Mandi

Hi, I’m Amanda (call me Mandi).

Many of my clients are providers themselves, or first line of defense or intervention at work. The emotional toll of their work must remain hidden or masked in order to do their job well. It’s not easy and sometimes feels impossible to reach out for help or to simply find a safe place to talk. They give all of themselves during working hours and suffer unseen distress after hours.

I see how exhausting it can be to function well enough to look successful or perform outstandingly, while you constantly wrestle with fixations on failure, insufficiency, fear, guilt, or shame.

Perhaps you cannot feel successful, no matter how much you’ve accomplished. Maybe intrusive memories remind you of past experiences that destroyed your sense of trust or safety. Your thoughts make you question your capability, your relationships, your past, your future, and everything in between.

You don’t have to remain stuck. Reach out to connect if you want to learn more about emotional and psychological growth, goals, and support. I’m glad to answer any questions you have!

Common Topics

  • Despite success or outward stability, you feel plagued by thoughts of impending financial, spiritual, physical, or relational loss.

  • Losses that linger, whose meaning impacts our connection to life and purpose.

  • Damaged trust in self and others, resulting from repeated exposure to manipulative, coercive, threatening, or violent experiences.

  • Emotional or physical neglect, lack of predictable safety, loss of parent, abuse, confusing or anxious attachments before the age of 18.

  • Destructive patterns of communication passed down for generations: normalized, hard to define, difficult to confront.

  • Also called vicarious trauma… causes symptoms of PTSD, like intrusive thoughts, interrupted sleep and changes in behavior after exposure to disturbing events.

“The most profound personal growth does not happen while reading a book or meditating. It happens in the throes of conflict, when you are angry, afraid, frustrated. It happens when you are doing the same old thing and you suddenly realize that you have a choice.”
