About me

Hello and welcome! If you are reading this then I applaud you for taking the first step to come to therapy. The good news about taking this step is that you do not have to do it alone! Together we will make your journey a little easier. My name is Amanda, I am a Licensed Clinical Therapist out of Rhode Island. I graduated with my bachelor's in Psychology from Rhode Island College, and hold a Masters's degree in Social Work from Simmons University. I have been working in the field for over 10 years. A majority of my experience comes from working with children and families in diverse settings including child welfare, trauma and abuse, acute/mental health, substance abuse, case management, and juveniles within the court system. A majority of this work has been done within the home, schools, foster care placements, and community settings.

It is important to me to establish a safe, nonjudgmental environment, and show respect to all clients. Based on your needs together we will figure out what treatment modalities work best. I believe in utilizing a holistic, client-centered approach, frequently using methods of CBT.

Together I can help empower you, increase your self-esteem, set healthy boundaries, as well as learn to regulate emotions in a positive manner while changing thought patterns. I look forward to working with you!
