Hello. My name is Amanda and I am so happy you found your way to our website. This is the first step in making healthy and positive changes in your life.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience in community mental health across various settings. I specialize in treating anxiety, mood disorders, and working through trauma. I work with children, adolescents, young adults, adults, and couples navigating relationship conflicts.
My professional background includes roles in adult case management, drug and alcohol treatment, and outpatient facilities. I have also served as a family educator for an early intervention psychosis program.
In my practice, I utilize evidence-based therapeutic approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and solution-focused treatment. I am committed to meeting you where you are and recognizing that you are the expert in your own life and treatment. Together, we will identify your personal treatment goals, develop healthy coping strategies, and explore the underlying causes of your symptoms.
I believe that creating a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship is essential for meaningful progress. My goal is to provide a positive and effective therapy experience that supports you in improving your quality of life. I look forward to working with you.
