Hi, I’m Amanda—a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes therapy should be the safest place you’ll ever land. If you’ve spent years showing up for others while quietly struggling yourself, you’re not alone. I offer therapy that’s grounded in empathy, trauma-informed care, and deep respect for your story. You don’t need to be “ready” or have the perfect words—just willing to show up as you are. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply curious about healing, I’ll meet you with compassion, curiosity, and zero judgment. Together, we’ll create a safe space for clarity, growth, and emotional freedom.
