I love being a counselor because it is so rewarding to help people, both individuals and couples, through difficult times, both past and present. Helping people work through issues of sexual abuse, depression, anxiety, forgiveness, relationships, and anger is my passion. I believe that we are mind, body, and soul and that all three need to be addressed for complete healing. I use an integration of insight-oriented and cognitive therapies and techniques as well as brainspotting therapy according to the client’s needs and abilities.

I joined the Rush Creek Counseling Center in 2013. It has been my greatest passion fulfilled to be able to walk along side both children and adults in the midst of difficult times. My passion thrives in being able to aid others in the healing process, while using Biblical principles and giving hope to those that may not know it is there.

There is no greater joy than to see hurting people find answers, hope, and healing. It is God’s calling on my life to walk with individuals, families, and teens to find hope and help for life’s struggles, hurt, grief, fear, and confusion. I am passionate about giving people tools for a lifelong walk of freedom. Equipping one person, or one family, to change spreads to the people around them and ultimately has a ripple effect of change into the culture.

While you and I may not know each other personally, we are not strangers to life challenges, pain and conflict. As your counselor, it would be my privilege to journey with you through these tough times of transition and help you as you discover new direction and meaning. At my core, I simply love people, and I believe it is important to maintain a life that is as emotionally and mentally healthy as possible. Whether you’re a single parent, a married couple, a family, or an individual in need of change, I look forward to working with you.

Counseling is a passion of mine that I was called to in 2014 and it is my pleasure to meet people where they are in life to help them process their struggles. Often times the biggest hurts are the ones that others can’t see, but are also kept hidden. I want to create a safe place for you to experience healing from those hurts and to be your true self. I look forward to meeting with you soon and to helping you overcome what’s been challenging you.

My goal as a counselor is to glorify God by coming alongside you or your child as you process experiences by providing insight, encouragement, and empathy. Counseling can be a way to help you see more clearly and move forward through your challenges to a more peaceful place. I would love to join you on the journey.

My name is Amanda and I am originally from Boston, MA. I got into counseling because from a young age I learned that life is hard and we all carry burdens. My goal is to create a safe place where clients can heal, learn, and grow. My favorite book talks about how we can move from pain to purpose, struggle to strength, and fear to courage. I hope to help clients heal from the past, build strength in the present and have high hopes for the future.

I (Audra Dahl) am pleased to announce we have a practicum student who is offering greatly discounted sessions at just $65/session. Due to the rules at her university, I am unable to show her pic and name. I don’t usually take on practicum student counselors but she so greatly impressed me that I hired her. She is closely supervised by me. She has been passionate about the mind body connection for many years. She has over 10 years of teaching experience in the field of yoga and has worked with adults, children, trauma victims, individuals with physical disabilities, and veterans.

I am generally the first personal contact you will meet when visit our Green Oaks location. I joined the team in December of 2006, back when there were only 3 of us on the team! I am working hard behind the scenes too doing office administration. I strive to make a connection for those who are struggling to a source of help and direction. The favorite part of my job is to know I have given someone hope in their situation.

Hello – I am excited to join the Rush Creek Counseling Center at Arlington Park. As one of your first contacts, I aim to assist you in finding the counselor that will be the best fit for you, welcome you with warmth and compassion, and be available to assist you with any questions you may have. I am a wife, mother, hairstylist, and student when I am not at the Counseling Center. My free time is spent with my family, reading, studying the word, and walking alongside encouraging other women on our paths to the narrow gate.
