About Amanda She/Her/Hers

I’m glad you are here. Reaching out to find support can be the hardest step.

It can be difficult to know how to move forward in your personal life, work, or academics when fear, anxiety, or depression are making you feel stuck.

I often find that when one hits a crossroad in their life, it can sometimes bring stress, but also has the capacity to create growth and resilience.

Whether it’s experiencing overwhelming feelings of loneliness, coping with a difficult boss or colleague, feeling imposter syndrome in your program of study, or navigating the loss of a relationship, having a nonjudgmental and supportive space to work on areas of growth can make all of the difference.

I take a warm, engaging, and persistent approach with clients as we explore how to make sense of the thoughts, feelings and behaviors that may be undermining your happiness and productivity.

My work is grounded in an intersectional, culturally inclusive perspective, with respect to racial or ethnic identity, country of origin, physical ability, sexual and gender diversity, and religious and political affiliation.

I believe that positive change most readily occurs when the right balance of accountability and self compassion is achieved. To that end, I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment where you can truly feel supported.

Let’s talk about what therapy could look like for you

Before our first session, I invite you to schedule a free 20 minute consultation, so we can discuss your reasons for seeking therapy, your goals, and any questions you may have.
