About Amanda
Are you tired of overthinking everything, feeling overwhelmed, or finding yourself stuck in the same patterns, even when you're trying your best to change them? Maybe your relationships feel harder than they should, past experiences are affecting your present, or you're simply not feeling like yourself lately. You might know exactly what's bothering you, or have no idea where to begin. Either way, we can start there.
I help teens and adults work through anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, self-esteem, and major life changes. Whether you're trying to understand why you feel the way you do, break unhealthy patterns, build confidence, set boundaries, or feel more in control of your emotions, we'll work together to figure out what you need.
My goal isn't just to help you get through what's difficult right now, but to help you better understand yourself, strengthen your relationships, and make changes that actually feel meaningful in your everyday life.
My approach
My approach is human. I'm genuinely invested in getting to know you, understanding your experiences, and helping you make sense of them. Expect real conversations, thoughtful questions, honest feedback, and gentle challenges when needed. My approach combines evidence-based techniques with warmth, compassion, and genuine connection.
About me
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with nearly 20 years of experience & the founder of Shoreline Health. I know how important it is to find a therapist you genuinely connect with. I bring warmth, honesty, clinical expertise & a down-to-earth style to sessions, helping you feel comfortable opening up while making real progress toward what matters to you.
