Great to meet you!

Hey there! I'm Amanda. With years of experience across diverse clinical settings, I understand how our minds work. I help you quiet your inner critic—the voice undermining your progress. Whether it's anxiety, depression, or life changes, I offer tailored support and techniques. Let's rewrite your narrative and unlock your resilience.

A bit about my approach to therapy

In our therapy sessions, I strive to cultivate a nurturing and empathetic environment where you can truly feel heard and understood. Grounded in an understanding of your unique experiences, my approach ensures therapy is affirming and inclusive for all, including the LGBTQ+ community. I'm adept at identifying patterns, guiding exploration, and empowering change. Together, we navigate your journey with compassion, understanding, and a commitment to growth and healing.

What you can expect from our first session

In our sessions, you'll experience a powerful transformation as your inner critic evolves from foe to friend. Through strategies and insights, you'll silence its negativity and embrace its constructive side, giving you the confidence to face life's hurdles head-on. You'll have the tools to manage emotions, nurture self-kindness, and build resilience. By the end, you'll have a deeper understanding of yourself, ready to tackle life with a newfound sense of empowerment and authenticity.
