- LCSW
Licensed in Oregon with 16 years of professional clinical work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, depression, coping with addictions, relationship issues, trauma, & abuse. Was licensed in Washington State for 8 years providing addiction medicine treatment with Clark County Juvenile Court and provided on campus treatment to multiple school districts in SW Washington. The last 8 years I have provided clinical social work in a level one trauma emergency room in Portland.
I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy takes courage and I am proud of you for getting started! It is truly warrior material.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Super nice and understanding!
Amanda is the best thing to ever happen to me. She is funny and charismatic and cares deeply for me. She remembers small details about who I am as a person and about my life and I couldn’t be more thankful.
Amanda has been an amazing Therapist thus far. I’m new to therapy and she has done a great job listening, providing feedback and resources to help me with my specific issues/challenges. Highly recommend her to anyone seeking out therapy.
Amanda is a beautiful soul. A genuine, caring, passionate therapist who has helped me overcome obstacles in my life. If you’re looking for a therapist who deeply cares about their clients and gives real-world advice to change your habits/thinking patterns/relationships, look no further.
I haven’t had therapy in a really really long time and Amanda was great and helping me navigate through everything and open up. I really appreciated her listening and helping me identify things I needed to think about.
She is a great listener and really works with their patients to make sure they feel seen and heard in each session. She is very personable and empathetic and has a lot of experience in this field. I would definitely recommend her for anyone who needs a safe space.
