Hi, I’m Amanda! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) since 2018, specializing in helping adults navigate trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, and the patterns that hold us back. I employ evidence-based approaches that are compassionate, respectful, and non-pathologizing, focusing on understanding the organization and function of your inner world. In our work together, you will gain powerful and practical tools to heal and address the wounded or burdened parts of your internal system. Connect with me to explore your inner experiences, build insight, and discover effective strategies for growth and healing. Together, we can create a path toward greater understanding, balance, and emotional resilience.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
During our first session, we’ll explore what’s been most challenging for you and discuss your goals for therapy. I’ll also share more about my approach so you have a clear sense of what to expect. It’s a collaborative conversation meant to help us build trust and set the foundation for meaningful work together.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My greatest strengths are helping clients feel truly seen and understood, even when they’ve struggled to open up in the past. I bring warmth, honesty, and curiosity to the work, helping you make sense of your experiences and develop practical ways to cope. Clients often say they leave sessions feeling lighter, more grounded, and clearer about their next steps.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
My ideal clients are adults who want to better understand themselves and their relationships. You may be feeling stuck, anxious, or weighed down by the past, but you’re ready to feel more grounded and confident. I work best with clients who are open to reflection and want to build healthier patterns, stronger boundaries, and a deeper sense of self-worth.
Eclectic
I take an eclectic approach, drawing from several evidence-based therapies to fit each client’s unique needs. This allows our work to be flexible and responsive, whether we’re focusing on insight, coping skills, or creating change in daily life.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
IFS addresses trauma, anxiety, depression, relationships, self-esteem and stress. It fosters self-discovery, healing, and personal growth by exploring and working with different parts of the self.
Mind-body approach
