Out of all the therapists I’ve ever had Amanda’s been the only one to work with me so well. She’s very kind and considerate and understanding. She listens well and gives great advice, and gives worksheets applicable to your situation and takes them into consideration. She’s such a good therapist and is good if you don’t want someone who just sits there and does virtually nothing. She’s very interactive and responds timely and I’m very happy I got to work with her:).
Thank you Amanda !!!

Amanda is a very kind, attentive, and insightful therapist. She skillfully helped me navigate a very challenging and overwhelming family crisis, and fully witnessed and encouraged me as I emerged stronger and more resilient. Her years of experience really shone through in the way she accepted and understood the complexities of my family system, and was undaunted by the discouragement and exhaustion I was experiencing. I was continually surprised and helped by the worksheets and tools she pulled out of her toolbox. She possesses profound strength and also gentle warmth...a very nice combination.

Amanda has proven to be a compassionate and capable therapist. I started therapy with uncertainty and reluctance. Amanda had shown me that therapy was not about assigning judgement, it's to create a safe place to voice one's concerns and thoughts without blame. Amanda fully listens to me and helps me understand the mechanisms of my mind to help me become a more emotionally stable person.

So deeply grateful to know that people like this exist and are working in a field and space where they can do the most good! Amanda is such a great person who I was assigned to with divine timing. I have heard it takes time for someone to find a good match in therapy; but I was truly blessed to get an intuitive and thoughtful professional who held space and moved at my pace. Amanda was an understanding and supportive professional who guided me through trauma and used gentle but powerful healing energy and expertise and gave me the space to pick myself up and grow through the darkness into the light. She taught me so much, met me where I stood. Challenged my toxic thoughts and patterns and helped me move through it and move forward. Thank you so much for seeing me through to the other side of the pain. She is truly gifted at what she does and anyone who works with her will see themselves grow exponentially with her guidance.
