Amanda helped me process and manage my emotions and feelings during a tumultuous time in my life where I sometimes felt there was no way out. I genuinely don’t know if I’d be here today with her, for that I am eternally grateful. She helped me rebuild myself and my identity, and gave me the tools to become self-sufficient again. Amanda’s emotional intelligence is incredibly impressive and I will always remember the lessons she taught me. For anyone seeking therapy/a therapist, look no further than Amanda - she is the best!

Amanda is highly skilled in getting therapy to seem like just chatting with a friend, but an extremely honest friend who knows how to make you just uncomfortable enough to become a better person. She is extremely patient and validating, and is flexible in letting me direct what I want to focus on during each session. I'm so glad I found her.

Amanda is super sweet, understanding and comforting. She’s super down to earth and a great listener. I feel respected by her, which has made me open up more and uncover things about myself as well. Talking to her on weekly basis has been my holy grail these past few weeks, and I would highly recommend to her anyone going through challenges!
