A message from Amanda

Navigating through life can often feel daunting and overwhelming. These experiences can come with many emotions that can feel difficult to manage. I see therapy as a journey that we will walk together, because it’s important to remember that you are not alone in these experiences. I believe that the root of success in therapy is the therapeutic relationship.
I provide a warm, welcoming, and inclusive environment where you’ll feel safe, comfortable, and seen. Through my gentle, empathetic, and person-centered approach, we’ll work through the emotions and challenges that life brings your way and build resilience and coping skills. Together, we’ll work toward growth you can feel proud of.
I especially have a passion for working with children and teenagers. I believe it’s so important to meet the client where they are, at every age. I look forward to going on this path with you.
