Hi there, I'm Amanda!
I am an LCSW, a therapist based in Southern California with 10+ years of experience working with individuals, couples, teens, and families. I specialize in relational patterns, communication, and reconnection, helping partners move from recurring conflict toward deeper understanding and genuine closeness.
My focus
I work primarily 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.
