Amanda has been a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) since 2008. She has worked in an out-patient setting on the OU Health Sciences Center campus providing assessment, counseling, and outreach. During a counseling session, she strives to create a safe space to explore and process together, allowing for personal growth.
