More about Amanda

Going into therapy can be scary and vulnerable. I help my clients apply the strengths they already possess to live the life they envision for themselves. Using evidence-based practices in our work, we will explore the challenges and vulnerabilities that you are experiencing and find the solutions to allow you to be the best version of yourself.
In my sessions, my approach is warm, open-minded, empowering, and solution-oriented.
