Hi, I'm Amara.

I came to this work sideways — first as a hospice volunteer, then a decade in community mental health, and finally private practice. What stayed constant is the conviction that people are not problems to be solved. Most of us already know a surprising amount about what we need; what's missing is a steady place to say it out loud.

Outside the practice room I'm usually walking the Springwater Corridor, rereading Mary Oliver, or failing pleasantly at sourdough. I mention this because therapy works best with a person, not a technique, on the other side of the room.
