My Approach to Helping
I'd like to meet you if you're looking for a warm, caring therapist who is able to help.
Feeling down? Anxious? Wishing your relationships were better? Career frustrations? Family issues? Recent breakup? These are some of the reasons people come to see me. Therapy with me is an opportunity to make sense of your experiences and experiment with new ways of being. I'll work with you to create healthier relationships, develop better coping skills to manage difficult feelings, clarify your life goals, and find more peace and happiness in your life.
I specialize in individuals and couples ages 20-40. I care about my clients and provide a safe space where you will feel heard and understood. I am an interactive therapist who enjoys seeing my clients try new things and in the process heal past and current pains, learn about themselves, and most importantly, discover the untapped sources of love, support and acceptance within themselves and those around them. I trust that through our work together you will learn, grow, and feel better than you do right now.
I received my MSW from UCLA and my BA from Dartmouth College. I have advanced training in Gestalt Therapy and a strong grounding in Attachment Theory, Cognitive Therapy and Mindfulness.
I hope you find the support you need.
Warmly, Amanda
