Welcome, I’m happy you’re here!

I'm Amanda—trauma-informed therapist, coach, artist, woman in recovery and creator of The Serenity Project.

For years, I exhausted myself trying to control everything and everyone around me. I looked to others for validation, swung between rebellion and people-pleasing and built my life around proving I was worthy of love and belonging.

Sound familiar?

After crisis after crisis, I finally learned what millions in recovery have discovered: You can't control other people's feelings, actions, or choices. But you can learn to respond instead of react.

The same principles that helped me get sober—and stay sober for over 8 years—can help anyone seeking serenity, regardless of what you think you qualify for.

This is for you if:

  • You're exhausted from managing everyone else's problems

  • You say yes when you mean no

  • You feel responsible for outcomes you can't actually control

  • You find yourself emotionally eating & drinking just to cope

  • You want peace but keep getting pulled into chaos

You don't need to be an alcoholic to benefit from recovery wisdom.
