Hi there!
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in both Florida and Colorado with over 7 years of experience working as a therapist. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, career challenges, and ADHD. Additionally, I am a member of the LGBTQ+ community and provide support to clients who might be struggling with their identity, family problems and self-esteem. I believe that families and relationships come in all shapes and sizes and I am both kink and poly aware.
Due to both familial and personal experiences with mental health concerns, grief, and trauma, I was drawn to therapy from a young age. Positive experiences with counseling lead me to develop an interest in pursuing therapy as a career. I believe the best therapists must first have experience as clients themselves, and I do not believe in stigmatizing mental health concerns. Instead, I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My counseling style is warm, interactive, and nonjudgmental and I am client centered, using various interventions from a range of therapeutic approaches.
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my dogs, crafting, watching sci-fi or anime, and playing video games. I also have no problem with labeling myself as a Trekkie, and named both of my dogs after Star Trek characters. If you are looking for a nerdy therapist, I definitely fit that bill.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling, happier life, and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I would be happy to have the opportunity to support and empower you on your journey.

Amanda is GREAT! I had a few bumps finding the right person to talk to and landed here with her and couldn't be more relieved! She takes in all the information I offer and the feedback I get really helps and feels good. Just the help i was looking for and needed. I look forward to continuing my healing journey with Amandas guidance!

Very open minded; and has helped me make significant progress. For the first time in my life I am feeling comfortable with who I am.

Amanda is a very kind, considerate, and understanding person. She's very empathetic and always seems to understand the feelings underlying the words you're trying to convey to her. And most importantly, she doesn't make simple judgments about you, the people you know, or the situation, because nothing about those things is simple and straightforward, and she understands that. I'm very thankful to have her as my counselor.

Amanda is such an amazing therapist. She is always there and understands the "deep" issues, She cares and is authentic.

I had Amanda as my counselor for about a month and felt so much relief about my anxiety which helped my depression. After a month of talking to her I thought all my problems were figured out but as soon as I deleted my betterhelp account my anxiety got worse and I felt the need to talk to someone. I remade the account after a few months and requested Amanda as my counselor as she is very concerned, compassionate, and understanding of what you want to be figured out about yourself and problems. Also to mention, she is very comfortable to talk to.
