Hi there, I'm Amanda!
I am an LCSW, a therapist based in Southern California with 10+ years of experience helping couples navigate the full range of relational challenges. I specialize in relational patterns, communication, and reconnection, helping partners move from recurring conflict toward deeper understanding and genuine closeness.
My focus
My practice works exclusively with couples navigating recurring conflict, disconnection, or major transitions. Many partners I work with are self-aware and motivated, but stuck in the same cycles. I also have experience with LGBTQ+ couples and those in non-traditional relationship structures.
My approach
My approach is insight-oriented and relational, drawing from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), the Gottman Method, attachment theory, and Internal Family Systems. I help couples understand the emotional patterns beneath their conflicts, where they came from, and how they can begin to shift.
