Professional statement

Amanda is a Licensed Social Worker (LSW) who works with young adults through older adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, and life transitions. She is passionate about helping clients better understand themselves and move through difficult seasons with greater clarity and confidence. Amanda believes therapy can be a powerful space for reflection, healing, and personal growth, and she welcomes individuals who are seeking support, insight, or a renewed sense of direction.

Amanda takes a collaborative and holistic approach to therapy, recognizing that each person’s story, experiences, and strengths are unique. She focuses on creating a warm, supportive environment where clients feel comfortable exploring their thoughts and emotions without judgment. Her work emphasizes self-awareness, practical coping strategies, and building on the strengths clients already possess. Amanda also believes there is room for authenticity, lightness, and even humor within the therapeutic process.

Her professional background includes experience in partial hospitalization and community-based settings, where she has supported individuals facing complex emotional and life challenges. These experiences have strengthened her ability to meet clients with compassion while helping them develop tools to navigate stress, uncertainty, and personal change.

Amanda provides therapy in person and is committed to offering a safe, welcoming space where clients feel seen and supported as they work toward meaningful growth and well-being.


Message to clients

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and it’s completely normal to feel unsure about where to begin. My hope is to create a space where you feel comfortable showing up exactly as you are. I believe therapy works best when it feels collaborative and genuine, and I strive to build a relationship where you feel heard, respected, and supported as we work together.

In our sessions, we’ll take time to explore what’s bringing you in while also focusing on the strengths you already carry. My goal is to help you gain insight, develop practical tools, and move through life’s challenges with greater confidence and self-understanding. Wherever you are in your journey, you don’t have to navigate it alone.
