Hi, I'm Amanda! I'm a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with over four years of experience providing trauma-informed psychotherapy. As an EMDR-trained therapist, I often work with people experiencing PTSD/C-PTSD, dissociative disorders, anxiety, depression, and ADHD. Many of my clients are also folks who have spent a long time feeling different, overwhelmed, or stuck in self-criticism. I aim to provide a warm, affirming space where you can feel authentically yourself.
My style is collaborative, nonjudgmental, and insight-oriented. Sessions are often open-ended and exploratory, with a focus on understanding underlying emotions, past experiences, and patterns in your life. I also use more structured approaches when appropriate, particularly with clients interested in EMDR therapy. Depending on your needs, our work may also involve grounding and emotion regulation skills to help build a greater sense of safety and stability.
I always like to start with a 15-minute phone consultation to make sure we're the right fit! If it feels like we're a good match, we'll spend our first session getting to know each other, reviewing intake paperwork, and setting goals for therapy. Most importantly, I hope you'll leave our sessions feeling seen, understood, and hopeful.
