Not Accepting New Clients
Amanda is a true inspiration, and no mere description on a webpage can fully capture her essence. She embodies a fascinating paradox: her presence is both uplifting and commanding, while her words are simultaneously assertive and empathetic. She has a unique ability to both challenge and resolve issues, and her insights linger with her clients long after their sessions. Amanda is like a gentle, reassuring force of nature — the kind that brings a sense of peace and renewal, rather than upheaval.
Amanda truly understands what makes an excellent couples therapist, which makes her a great choice to be our Clinical Director and Fellowship Training Manager! As a seasoned Intensive Couples Counseling (ICC) practitioner, Amanda has worked with hundreds of couples in crisis, and her knowledge and experience – and ability to keep a cool head – are invaluable for anyone wanting to learn how to help clients and couples thrive. Amanda’s years of experience working with affair couples and First-Responder couples have led her to develop a practical but compassionate approach, which she brings directly into her supervision style.
*Please note that Amanda is not accepting new clients.*
