Hi, I’m Dr. Amanda! A Doctorate in Social Work and Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in anxiety and depression. I help adults who are tired of feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. Together, we'll work toward helping you feel more balanced, confident, and in control of your life.
You may find yourself constantly overthinking, worrying about the future, or struggling to quiet your mind. Maybe you're feeling emotionally drained, disconnected from yourself, or no longer enjoying the things you once loved. These experiences are common and often develop in response to chronic stress, difficult life experiences, or a nervous system that has been overwhelmed for too long.
In therapy, we'll identify what's keeping you stuck and teach you tools to create lasting change. Using mindfulness, grounding techniques, cognitive and behavioral strategies, and trauma-informed care, I'll help you better understand your thoughts and emotions while building healthier coping skills. My goal is to help you reduce anxiety, improve your mood, strengthen your relationships, and create a life that feels more fulfilling.
