She brings an attentive and steady presence into sessions and aims to help clients reconnect with themselves and with others.

Amannda uses a psychodynamic perspective as part of her work and draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide treatment choices. She pays close attention to how early wounds and patterns show up in everyday life. Conversations often look at relationship patterns, emotional responses, and how past experiences influence current behavior.
She has extensive experience supporting people connected to intellectual disability and Autism, and she emphasizes consistency and sensitivity to sensory and emotional states. Amannda also helps people and family members process grief, address communication problems, and manage workplace and financial stressors that affect daily life.
Amannda holds a Master’s in Social Work from City University of New York, Lehman College, and a Bachelor’s degree from the State University of New York, Buffalo. She has worked for over 11 years in outpatient mental health settings and community services in New York.
In sessions she encourages reflection, practical problem solving, and small changes that build confidence. She supports exploration of family of origin issues, guilt and shame, and coping strategies for self-harm urges. Her goal is to help clients notice strengths and reduce the barriers to feeling connected.

If you are considering online options, confirm the specific session formats before booking since those details were not provided. Online or remote work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, shorten commutes, and allow check-ins during breaks from work. Different formats can also suit different needs - for example, shorter phone check-ins when bandwidth is limited, or video sessions for more visual interaction - and Amannda will help determine what best supports your goals.
