Online Sessions 
Compassionate, experienced social worker helping adults find meaning and hope in their lives.
A profound desire to help others in a deep and meaningful way is what has drawn Amanda to the mental health field. Amanda creates space for all of her clients to express whatever they need to in a nonjudgmental, supportive environment. Humor and solution-focused thinking are key aspects of Amanda’s approach to her practice, and life. Amanda’s guiding belief is that the client is the expert of their own life, and her role is to guide, assist and encourage on the path to healing and growth. Amanda believes helping clients develop self-compassion and confidence in their voice, and beyond, are the most rewarding aspects of her position.
Outside of therapy, you can expect Amanda to always be ready to talk about yoga, cats, and gardening.
