More about Amanda

Hello! I am a licensed therapist in the state of Pennsylvania with a broad range of experiences in the counseling field. I have worked with children, teens, and adults with many different backgrounds and concerns in home-based, school-based, in a recovery house, and outpatient settings over the past 8 years.
My therapy style is more laid-back but interactive, while also being direct when needed. I am passionate about counseling from a Christian perspective, but I am also able to counsel persons from all religious and spiritual beliefs to help them live more fulfilling lives. Over the past few years, grief has become more prevalent in my own life and the lives of people I have interacted with and counseled, spurring on a new passion to be as present as possible in the grieving process of others, especially those experiencing disenfranchised grief (when the depth of pain is not commonly recognized by society as a whole). While I can’t make the pain of loss go away, having someone be with you in the pain can make a world of difference.
My therapeutic approach consists of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Psychodynamic, and Existential theories. Since every person is unique, I will take time to learn your individual needs, wants, strengths and what you respond best to in sessions.
It is admirable to take steps to help oneself in greater self-discovery and growth. Thank you for being here, and for being you. I hope you feel heard and can know what it is like to be truly authentic.
I look forward to working alongside you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

She understands what my goals and problems are
I’ve only had a few sessions but she has already given me insight on how to handle my struggles. I look forward to continuing my work with her.
Amanda was a great therapist for me! She was always kind, thoughtful and really listened to what I was saying, and offered valuable feedback. She stimulated my thinking and helped me navigate issues I was having by talking with me instead of to me. I’m so glad to have been working with Amanda!
It’s been a great experience so far! Dealing with the loss of my singing voice due to surgery triggered a lot for me, but it’s been such an eye opening experience. She really listens and helps me reframe my thinking in ways I would have never thought of. I highly recommend.
Kind, compassionate, light-hearted and upbeat, great listener with good insights.
Simply the best searched for a while for a quality therapist and i am so pleased with Amanda’s expertise and approach she is so easy to talk to and super professional
Amanda and very patient and understanding during my sessions with her. She is also non-judgmental and offers genuinely good life advice.
Amanda is a very good listener and not only has she listened to what I have to say but she helps me work through what my thoughts are, offering new perspectives. She has already started to tailor her style of therapy to figure out how to help me best and I truly appreciate that.
