As a licensed therapist in Florida, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My approach is deeply compassionate and tailored to each person's unique journey. I have extensive experience helping clients address challenges like anxiety, trauma, family conflicts, and self-esteem issues.
My therapeutic practice centers on creating a supportive, non-judgmental space where individuals can explore their experiences and develop meaningful strategies for personal growth. I work with diverse populations, offering expertise across a wide range of life transitions and emotional challenges—from workplace stress to relationship dynamics, chronic pain management to young adult concerns.
I believe in empowering clients to discover their inner strengths, self-love and develop resilient coping mechanisms. Whether you're struggling with social anxiety, processing past trauma, or seeking greater self-understanding, I'm committed to walking alongside you with genuine empathy and professional guidance.
My goal is to help you build self-compassion, improve communication, and create sustainable pathways toward emotional wellness. Together, we can explore your experiences, challenge limiting beliefs, and cultivate a more fulfilling life.

Amanda has walked beside me through recovery from multiple concussions, cognitive rehabilitation, learning independence, a deeply frightening living situation, an eventual escape from that situation, and the work of building a life afterward.
She helped me through periods where I was simply trying to make it through the day, and she was still there as I began learning how to thrive instead of just survive. Throughout all of it, she provided practical tools, encouragement, accountability, and a steady presence when things felt overwhelming.
One of the greatest gifts Amanda gave me was helping me trust myself again. She helped me recognize my strengths, understand my patterns, and build a healthier relationship with myself. The person I am today is stronger, more confident, and more independent because of the work we did together.
I am profoundly grateful for her support and would recommend her without hesitation.

Amanda is incredible! She has so much empathy for people, and it makes it easy to trust her. One of the things that I love about our therapy sessions is rather than telling you what you should do, she helps you to come to the solution yourself and educates you on the tools to successfully manage different situations. Overall I would recommend her to anyone!

Dr Amanda is really the best therapist that i had tried so far (I tried many!!!). She is so knowledgeable and solution focused, kind and gives the best practical advices. I am still surprised on how much progress i made in these sessions w her help and that i am so excited to continue therapy, which in the pass has always been a challenge and all the other therapist made me feel like my problems were too superficial while she helped me feel empowered about the smallest details

It has been the best experience and im very thankful.
