Stress & anxiety
Make sense of patterns that keep you stuck, manage overwhelming moments, and build tools you can use between sessions.
A place to feel more like yourself
You don’t have to have it all figured out.
Hi, I’m Amanda. I offer virtual therapy for adults and teens in New York, Florida, Texas, Michigan, and Washington, DC. This is a supportive space to sort through what’s hard, reconnect with your strengths, and find a way forward that feels like your own.
Warm & affirmingPractical when you need itRoom for real life
Come as you are. We’ll start there.
How we work together
Support that feels human.
With 10 years of professional experience, I bring a laid-back, compassionate style and a good sense of humor. You can be honest here without worrying about judgment. We’ll pay attention to what you’re carrying and to the strengths you already have.
Identity & self-worth
Explore LGBTQ+ experiences, confidence, motivation, and the pressure to meet everyone else’s expectations.
Relationships & transitions
Work through relationship concerns, life changes, difficult feelings, and the question of what comes next.

Collaborative, at your pace.
Therapy is tailored to you. I draw on cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness to build insight and practical skills. We can slow down, get curious, and focus on what matters to you.

- 02Ask about my approach, availability, fees, and what sessions are like.
