Hello, I am glad you are seeking support. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida since 2019. I have worked with clients as young as 2 years old to seniors over 100 on issues such as grief and loss, parenting concerns, relationships, anxiety, depression, trauma and self-love. I use a client centered, strength based approach in assisting clients to meet their goals. To help clients to learn how to apply compassionate care towards themselves in turn providing them with the life long tool of supporting themselves in meeting their needs, always. All stemming from a holistic person-centered approach.
Taking the first step in building your mental health as well as having a trusting therapeutic relationship with someone who cares. We can work together toward managing life stressors to find healthy coping tools and eventually freedom. The therapeutic integration I strive for is one of acceptance, empathy, compassion, empowerment, dignity and respect. It is of the utmost importance for me to ensure the highest level of quality care to make sure it is tailored to meet your needs.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. Ready to take the steps to living your best life? I am here to support and empower you on a digital platform.
I look forward to talking soon!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Incredible and insightful. I couldn’t recommend more from someone who needed help and perspective
Amanda is the best! Always listens and is very helpful.
Amanda had such a calming vibe. I love how she talks about nature! She’s been so helpful in healing my inner child.
Amanda listens, she's always on time, she's a very sweet attitude. Highly recommend this therapist.
Amanda helped me a lot with acknowledging and processing abuse patterns, helped me with learning to listen to my body and how to interpret those signals as emotions, and trust my gut instincts. She made a really big difference in my life and I'm very grateful for her!
Amanda is one of a kind , she is a good listener and will make you feel really listened to. Shows a deep sympathy with all my crap but really professional in handling it. She has a good emotional regulation and she will help you meet your goal with all the advices, practicals, and self affirmations. She will help you love yourself and make yourself feel value and loved. She’s also very nice and fun to talk too. I will definitely recommend her !
Amanda is attentive and honestly the best therapist I’ve been too. Her listening skills are sharp and she’s able to walk me through what I’m going through with patience. She’s been such a great help to me and I’d recommend Amanda anytime! :)
Amanda is so kind and really listens. She offers helpful tools and realistic feedback. I am super grateful for her!
Wonderful listener and makes me feel valued
Amanda is kind, easy to talk to, and offers great support. I highly recommend her!
She has helped me a lot in a short period of time. I appreciate her insight and the way she challenges the way I think or act. Very accommodating and understanding.

This is exactly what I needed, and it’s affordable. Amanda is so insightful and very actively listens and guides me to where I need to be
Amanda is a wonderful therapist! She has helped me immensely! Couldn’t recommend her enough.
She’s very receptive, a great listener and very compassionate
She really works with you rather than speaking at you. I’ve only had one session but it was truly eye opening.
She has been so sweet and responsive, even with my excessive rants/overthinking :). I never feel judged and it’s refreshing
Amanda is incredible! She has so much empathy for people, and it makes it easy to trust her. One of the things that I love about our therapy sessions is rather than telling you what you should do, she helps you to come to the solution yourself and educates you on the tools to successfully manage different situations. Overall I would recommend her to anyone!
Amanda is amazing, I love working with her
I have been working with Amanda for over a month now, and I have to say I am thrilled to have been matched with her. She is a gifted therapist, professional, compassionate, yet able to challenge me to get to a deeper place than I have gone before. I highly recommend her if you are ready and willing to jump into therapy and make changes. I have been blessed to have found her to help with my healing.
Dr Amanda is really the best therapist that i had tried so far (I tried many!!!). She is so knowledgeable and solution focused, kind and gives the best practical advices. I am still surprised on how much progress i made in these sessions w her help and that i am so excited to continue therapy, which in the pass has always been a challenge and all the other therapist made me feel like my problems were too superficial while she helped me feel empowered about the smallest details
Amanda is a very good therapist. She listens and responds with key information to reference and study, what is being presented in sessions. She's easy to talk too, but strong in character to help you deal with whatever is on your mind.
Amanda is awesome! She’s helped me so much and I am really glad I was paired with her. She gives a lot of great insight and has help me over come so much already. In addition her sweet and calm nature makes it really easy to feel comfortable and in a safe place. Thank you Amanda !
Amanda has been a wonderful counselor, she has helped me learn about the issues I am dealing with. Unfortunately I no longer have sessions covered with her but I wish I did. She worked so hard to try it get me paperwork for my school and support me Overall. Thank you Amanda!
She is always willing to work with my schedule and I really appreciate it!

Amanda had been amazing!! I couldn’t have asked for a better therapist who understands me and connects with me.

It has been the best experience and im very thankful.
