I’ve been with Amanda for a year now, and it’s been a wonderful experience. She is caring, listens, and has helped me immensely. Her personable and thoughtful manner allows you to come as you are, and together, we’ve talked through many things that I had no one else to discuss with. I value her insight and how she has helped me on issues small and large. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

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.
