Amanda joined Roanoke Park in 2020.  She provides information and conducts intakes for survivors and their partners seeking services at our agency, and she supervises the clinical staff. She is honored to be the first contact for potential clients, and strives to make the intake interview as warm, safe, and non-threatening as it can be.  She knows that every time a survivor tells their story it can be painful, and every time the story is heard by someone who offers compassion and support it can be a step towards healing.

Her previous experience includes working at a community mental health center from 1987-1998, both in an outpatient department and in a therapeutic foster care program.  She taught at Antioch University Seattle from 1992-2018, in both the mental health and family therapy programs.  She had a private practice from 1995-2018, specializing in couple and family therapy, people who had been abused, and people with limited financial means.  She has volunteered as a CASA (guardian ad litem) since 2001, and as a psychological evaluator for asylum seekers since 2017.

Amanda serves as the Clinical Coordinator at RPC.

Laura joined us in June, 2022. She has a background in both non-profit and corporate communications and relationship building, and a strong interest in the history of women's healthcare and attitudes toward childbirth and childhood well-being. As Director of Development and Communications, she is honored to advocate on behalf of survivors at Roanoke Park Counseling through fostering a robust fundraising and relationship building program.  

Originally from Oregon, Laura was happy to return to the Pacific Northwest — and the lovely, rainy climate she grew up thinking of as "normal" — after completing her studies in California and Texas. She volunteers as a teacher of world religions for middle schoolers and has been involved on a staff and volunteer basis with a women's literary journal since she was in high school. She also enjoys gardening, cooking, and raising her children. 

Lilly joined Roanoke Park Counseling in 2023. As Office Manager, she strives to create a comfortable and smooth operating environment for the staff and clients of RPC. She has a background in administration and health care and is proud to be part of a community like Roanoke Park Counseling that prioritizes clients and personal healing.

Lilly completed her studies at the University of Washington in Psychology and Anthropology and believes in bringing an interdisciplinary approach to life. When away from RPC, she teaches art classes to students of all ages, coaches Muay Thai and spends time with her family.
