Great to meet you!

Hi, I'm Amanda, a licensed clinical social worker and therapist with a compassionate, affirming, and strengths-based approach. I believe you already have the innate capacity to heal - I'm here to help you get there.

I specialize in working with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma (including PTSD and C-PTSD), ADHD, grief, life transitions, and relationship challenges. Together we will help you find practical approaches to overcome challenges, recognize your own strengths, and build self-compassion.

My approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative, empathetic, and trauma-informed. I use evidence-based therapies - including CBT, ACT, EFT, mindfulness, and somatic approaches - to support your goals, promote healing, and help you move toward the life you want.

What you can expect from me

Starting therapy can feel like a big step. In our first session, we'll explore what brings you in, what challenges you're facing, and what you'd like to gain from therapy. You'll have space to share your story at a pace that feels comfortable, and we'll begin identifying goals for our work together. My aim is to create a supportive, collaborative environment where you feel heard, understood, and empowered.
