More about Amanda

- LCSW
In my clinical practice, it has been my joy to work with people - authentically, with genuine intent, and through compassionate connection. Throughout my career I have functioned as a staff, a supervisor, a therapist, and administrator in multiple settings and utilize everything I have learned to inform my work. I have always found grounding in my core principles of care, and have found purpose in working with individuals and families who are open for growth.
I welcome the opportunity to work with all types of people - and always hold space for who they are seeking to become, not who they have felt the need to be. My most passionate work is with adolescents, individuals seeking deep healing or deep rest, those who are approaching mid-life or confronting parenthood, and families. I would welcome the opportunity to connect with anyone who is seeking transformative growth, and a space for healing. In my current work I find myself focusing most often on attachment, impacts of trauma particularly sexual trauma or early childhood experiences, behavioral needs based in emotional disabilities, sexuality and self, and family systems. Throughout my career I have demonstrated an ability to learn new therapeutic skills, and consistently seek professional growth.
I look forward to connecting!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
