Amanda Sprague, Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor

You did everything “right.” You got the job you worked hard for and found a partner that checks (some of) your boxes. You go to yoga, read all the self-help books, and even tried to have a 5a-9a before your 9a-5p. But you have nothing to show for it. You’re exhausted, burned out, anxious, depleted, and defeated. You’re at your breaking point. This isn’t what you expected life to feel like. It’s not you. It’s society. Women have been socially conditioned for - well, forever - to live up to ridiculous, contradictory expectations. These messages are implicit, but they teach us to be small, and prioritize others before ourselves. I will hear your story, and help you dissect the messages you’ve received throughout your life about who you should be. I will teach you how these messages are designed to turn you into a person who doesn’t know how to have needs, let alone express them. I can help you re-write your story, so you can learn who you are without all the nasty messaging. I help millennial and gen z women take up space in a world that keeps women down. Our work together will help you overcome anxiety, stop people-pleasing, and you'll finally start feeling good enough. You'll lean self-compassion, start setting boundaries, and make some noise along the way. And with Telehealth, you can change your life from your own couch!

I am in a unique position to help you because I am also a millennial woman, a recovering people-pleaser, and have had my own journey with not feeling "good enough." I actually know how exhausting it is to feel like no matter what you do, you're not doing enough. I know that the feeling of hopelessness and desperation can keep you up at night, as you sacrifice more and more of yourself every day just to feel loved. Let me use my experience - both personal and clinical - to support you in your own healing journey so you can take up some space in your life!
