Meet Amanda

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 11+ years of clinical mental health experience. Before entering clinical practice, I worked with underserved communities, providing advocacy, support, and skills to promote wellbeing and access to care. I help adults navigate anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, burnout, grief, life transitions, and longstanding emotional patterns that can leave people feeling stuck or overwhelmed. My approach is warm, collaborative, and focused on helping clients build insight, strengthen coping skills, improve relationships, and create meaningful, lasting change.

I believe in building relationships in therapy that free people to find balance in their own lives.
