Amanda is very responsive and listens to me.. She reaches out between sessions and I feel comfortable asking for her counsel when I need support between sessions. She shares resources with me that are very helpful. I highly recommend Amanda.

I cannot explain how lucky I am that you guys paired meet with her. I feel heard, I feel valid, also feel like I am making progress. I was very nervous to start this journey and I’m very grateful that I did and I’m very grateful that I have her help.

Amanda is a very kind, attentive, and insightful therapist. She skillfully helped me navigate a very challenging and overwhelming family crisis, and fully witnessed and encouraged me as I emerged stronger and more resilient. Her years of experience really shone through in the way she accepted and understood the complexities of my family system, and was undaunted by the discouragement and exhaustion I was experiencing. I was continually surprised and helped by the worksheets and tools she pulled out of her toolbox. She possesses profound strength and also gentle warmth...a very nice combination.
