Amanda is wonderful and one of a kind. I have never had a therapist like her and she helps me like no other therapist does. I highly recommend her!

Love my therapist! Challenges me without judging. Gives me tools. Always allows me to be my authentic self.

I was in an extremely dark place when I first visited Amanda. Over the course of 6 months, I made major improvements in my mental health. We worked through my major depression and family-oriented problems. She always listens to what I have to say and also helps me look and things from another perspective. It is a journey, but definitely one worth taking.

Amanda’s great at listening and have helped bring awareness of past trauma and mental disorders. She’s very supportive and has helped me navigate through a change in my work life. My anxiety has been a lot better since I’ve started my sessions with her. I would recommend working with her.
