I am a Trauma, Relationship, and Sex Therapist with 10 years of experience. Most of my career has been working with individuals, couples, and families around trauma, infidelity, relationship issues, anxiety, sexual concerns, depression, and more.
My approach to counseling is very client-centered and positive. I am a guide to help you discover your strength, abilities, and what you would like to get out of your future. I utilize many different therapeutic perspectives based on what you are looking for and value your input in your own development.

Amanda is a wonderful therapist. She listened to everything I had to say with patience and curiosity. She was also very adept at providing feedback when I wanted it, which was ever time from her ;) I grew to look forward to our sessions and I carry many of the wise insights she shared with me throughout my day to day life. Thank you, Amanda!

Amanda has been very helpful as I wrestle with my loneliness and isolation due to Covid. She's funny and insightful. Plus, her tips and little assignments are helping me achieve my personal goals.
