As an experienced therapist, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex life transitions, relationship challenges, and emotional well-being. My practice centers on addressing depression, anxiety, life stressors, and multicultural concerns with a compassionate, culturally responsive approach.
I bring two decades of clinical experience working with diverse populations, focusing on women's issues, social anxiety, mood disorders, and family dynamics. My therapeutic style emphasizes understanding individual experiences, particularly around identity, life purpose, and personal growth.
My approach is deeply rooted in creating a supportive, affirming space where clients can explore their challenges, develop resilient coping strategies, and cultivate meaningful personal transformation. I'm committed to honoring each person's unique journey with empathy, respect, and professional expertise.

I’ve had therapists throughout my life but never did I feel comfortable to talk about the core of my issues and would always discuss shallow concerns; despite seeing some therapists for years. And Amanda Kim cracked me the first therapy session and made me feel comfortable to be vulnerable and open without judgement. I absolutely love her & thankful for coming across her. I wish I had someone like her when I was younger.
